When was the last time you called your congresscritters?
I called today. I'd like to see who else called, because it is encouraging.

I told my republican sentors to support Eric Holder, Hilda Solis and the funding for Amtrak in the "Stimulus" package headed their way.

1. When he stopped by my house and got an earful from my wife
That was about 8 months ago, but I think he got the message.

2. I haven't called since November
I call my congressman a few times a year and my Senators two-or-three times.
I always call right before and/or right after a vote has taken place that I really was interested in to either let them know of my support or my displeasure.

My congressman is Phil Hare (D-IL) and my sens are Durbin and was Obama.

I live in Korea, so I don't call as often as I'd like to though

4. I plan on paying mine a visit when we go to DC this summer...
He's a repuke, smarter than the last one we had and came across as fairly reasonable. I won't know until I talk to him.

6. I call them every one - to - four weeks,
in addition to e-mails etc. I'd be glad to slack off, if they'd stop.
