US Senate web site inaccessible
It keeps timing out. I wanted to get my senators phone numbers so I can call them as early as possible tomorrow. I did get to the main page once, but when I tried to get to my senators' pages, all it does is time out, over and over.

For some reason a LOT of people must be trying to access the system!

3. Seems like all the Senators' and Congresspeople's web sites
and email servers are down. Did get through to WH though it was slow.

6. The President just asked people to call their Senators, in his speech.
Looks like that is what happening.

We have all night and all day tomorrow to call and call and call and call, over and over. :evilgrin:

Here is a site to find your Congress person contact info:

9. Nice resource, but it refers you back to the Senate site for senator info
So it doesn't help when the Senate site is not working. Which it still isn't, for me at least.

17. Actually, reps, not senators
(since Repubs rule the House) but senators would be good, too.

7. Oh good GOD...I couldn't get in to senate.gov so I made the mistake
of going straight to John Cornyn's website only to see that there was a posted video "response to the President's absolutely disgraceful speech". Give me a fucking break. I feel like I need to shower now.

11. That is why I needed to get to the Senate site
I can get Bill Nelson's info from his emails, but I don't have Marco Rubio's info.

The link Horse with No Name gave is great - a PDF of all Senators DC office numbers.

22. Maybe it's only some of the senators whose constituents are trying
To reach them. I did get to the main Senate site once, but when I tried to look up Florida senators, no go, time out.
