Mr. K,

Would it help to call Levin or Warner's office if we are not from their states?

When I called them, neither Warner nor Levin's office asked which state I was from. I'd certainly mention the state I was from if I was within the senator's jurisdiction, but from the sounds of things these officies are getting a lot of calls and may just be marking off a tally sheet.

As for what you guys should be doing, I'm not really in the action advice business here in the forum anymore.

Berge, you're still in the advice giving business, right? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Is it useful for people outside of Levin and Warner's states to call their offices to express against this rider?

No one I called asked for my state either, and I only mentioned it when I called my state's senators. For what it's worth, Frist's phone lackey sounded really bored and annoyed whereas Warner's, Reid's, and Levin's sounded happy afterwards.

These offices are very busy and you're not going to be asked for some long-winded defense of your position. It will take 30-90 seconds of your time. Just make the calls.

I just called levins number and basically said im a supporter of Levins and I basically read what Nate suggested to read (above). He said thanks and he will pass it along.

Warner's line was busy...but Levin's Rep answered and said he'll pass on the information, seemed like he knew what I was going to say.

[pokerraja]

someone should post this on every forum and newgroup on the net? do you mind if we do nrog?

Cool. I called both Levin's and Warner's office. Every little bit helps I'm sure. Lets them know there's some resistance to what they're trying to do.

I got the same impression from Levin's staff. If this means they're getting plenty of on-message calls, this isn't a bad thing.

e-mailed a few times and I've just call Warner and Levin
