Folks, the D.C. Senate offices are STILL OPEN
Here is a conversation that I just had with Ben Nelson's office:


staffer: "Senator Ben Nelson's office"

me: "Yes, I'd like to voice an opinion on the Alito confirmation please"

staffer: "You'd like to him to vote against Alito?" <pause> "and support the filibuster"

me: "Yes, I most assuredly would"

staffer: "Thank you, I'll let him know"

me: "Thank you very much"


Notice that the staffer was literally able to fill in the blanks as to why I was calling. I made NO mention of what my stance on Alito was, but I am guessing that he is getting one hell of a lot of calls AGAINST the good judge.

CALL BEN NELSON"S OFFICE, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Most offices close at 6. Some west coast stay open until 7.
alaska and hawaii sometimes stay open even later.

If not, CALL THE DISTRICT OFFICES. Almost all stay open until 5 or 6 local time.
