1. I just called

His DC line was busy, so I called his Des Moines office.

[Alexodin]

2. Done

I requested that he speak for me again as he has so eloquently in the past and oppose Judge Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court and support a filibuster against the nomination. Then I called three of my friends and they will do the same.

3. Some of us have responded to the GD thread.

4. I think I am going to represent myself as a constituent

Of course I WAS a constituent and a former College Democrat that canvassed for Harkin, if my opinion is giving more weight for being a resident of Iowa.....


Any luck getting through guys??? I tried to call direct # and then the switchboard...

1-888-ELK-FLUTE

I think these Senators really need to consider that they also have the burden of representing residents of other states who's wished are not being considered or represented, which is a grave mistake and miscalculation of the wishes of the ENTIRE country. I don't like being represented by the likes of the Mythical Little People Hater Cornyn....

5. Called his local office

And the lady said she had been getting calls all day. I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, Harkin might just be able to be persuaded. Think I'm going to try Obama and Durbin's offices as well, as I live right across the Mississippi River from Illinois. Keep calling people. There's still hope, slim as it is.

6. GD Thread indicates he will ABSTAIN on Cloture, which is gooooooood!

Keep calling if you havent though

[melissinha]

7. He supports Filibuster now

Just called and went through my schpeel, after that she told me he is supporting the filibuster.

[CoffeeCat]

8. Thank God!! It's wonderful to live in a state that has a Senator...

...who comes through like this--when we live with such fascist leaders.

Great news and thanks for sharing.

I called Harkin on Friday.

[melissinha]

10. I totally wish I were back in Iowa now

At least you've got one good Senator, I've got Crony Cornyn who's fuming right now who thinks that the victims of Enron are mythical.......

[Bluzmann57]

11. Yeah I heard part of Cronyn's speech

And this guy is a real piece of sh...er, work. Saying that the far left wants chaos and disorder. Fuck you Cronyn! Sorry about the language, but I tend to get fired up about crap like that.

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Wow! That's great news!

I just called, and they didn't say anything about that, though.
