I've been calling their state and DC offices. I was displeased to find that some of my more RINO-ish representatives are using as their voicemail message, the "excuse" being used by rat congressmen, that their offices are closed to their consituents (ie the people who gave them this job) die to the shutdown. I pointed out to these that the shutdown wasn't affecting the response at other congressmens' offices, they found themselves still able to do the job they ran for, were elected to, and made campaign promises for my vote, to get. That they would use this an excuse for ducking their constituents has me greatly pizzed off. (Gives a slight clue to where their thinking on all this too).
