Has anyone else called their senator about Censure?
All the press seems to be saying that no one is supporting Fiengold.

I called my senator (Leahy) today. I thought I was calling to express my disappointment that he wasn't supporting censure, but found out that he actually hasn't made up his mind yet.

Maybe there are other senators who are considering supporting Fiengold? What kind of answers are people getting when you call your senator?

Let's keep hammering them.

1. I've been trying to call, but I keep getting a busy signal
I'm at work, and can only call the 800 number, and it's busy. I've emailed both my Senators, though.

Thank you thank you thank you! IT WORKED!

Sen. Lincoln (D-AR) hasn't made a public statement about censure, so I told the aide that she should since she took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic! Felt great!

Edited to say I called Sen. Pryor (D-AR) as well. Aide said basically the same thing as Lincoln's aide, but added that he is considering it-and wants to hear from constituants.

6. Called Harkin
as I am an Iowan, but I also live on the border of Illinois, so I'm going to call Obama and Durbin as well. I may call Grassley, but I'm not sure if it will do any good. But it's always good to let him know whats on my mind.

10. Called both mine, so has my wife
Called and emailed both Obama and Durbin.

Obama's person said that he hadn't yet made a statement, I voiced my support for Feingold's resolution and I heard her typing it up, so I assume it was noted.

Durbin's office I had to call about 5 times to get through busy signal. I asked if Durbin was supporting the censure resolution and was told "I don't know. Would you like me to record a comment?" He asked my zip code, apparently as a quick check to make sure I was actually an Illinoisian. I thought "I don't know" was a kind of funny answer, I expected something more along the lines of what I heard from Obama's office. I suppose they've got a lot of extra people answering phones. :)
