2. I called at least 15 congresspeople at 5 PM eastern time today...
Caught damned near every one of them. One even was interested to talk quite a bit about why the CBO hasn't scored single payer.

I'm hoping that they are being bombarded by constituents from all over the nation. Phone call bombs are what I'm doing, when I'm not writing them.

Now what THEY are doing? I'm guessing shitting their pants if they're listening to us.
