3. Thanks, but no thanks.
I'll stay put in my blue state... but seriously, is it legal for me to call Florida from MN?

2. Start asking them to support single payer?
:shrug:

Co-sponsoring Kennedy's bill would be nice.

5. I'll get right on that too
I'm feeling like being a liberal lioness today for our dearly departed Senator Kennedy.

6. Please, call Bill Nelson for me! Use 33830 or 32308 for a zip when they ask
The first zip is in the middle of the reddest part of Florida, Bartow, Polk County. The second zip is in one of the more prosperous parts of Tallahassee.

Washington, DC 20510
Phone: 202-224-5274
Fax: 202-228-2183

Tallahassee, Florida 32301
Phone: 850-942-8415
Fax: 850-942-8450

Orlando, Florida 32801
Phone: 407-872-7161
Toll Free in Florida: 1-888-671-4091

Tampa, Florida 33602
Phone: 813-225-7040

You could also call Mel Martinez, but since Crist just appointed a replacement, he probably will not be in office to vote on health care.

15. How will they know if you are not on a business trip?
Since Bill Nelson effectively lies every time he runs as a Democratic candidate, I have no compunction about lying to his office staff.

Thank you for even thinking about doing it!

12. Mine too (mostly), but not my Representative.
Gary Miller (R-CA), one of CREW's 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress. One look at the lies on his website regarding health insurance prove he's a lost cause.

I can always write another letter to Feinstein...

13. I'm going to write all those down
And call. I'm off for the day. Hope I get a chance to talk to you all soon. Thanks for talking to me. I always get a little nervous about posting here because I'm sort of a political newbie.

18. Yeah, give Jim and Mitch's offices a call. You can soak in the surprise and disdain for your stances
like me. Unsurprising but fairly frustrating knowing you're tilting at windmills.
