I just called mine (Todd Platts - R PA) who is also leaning no. I was surprised when she said the calls were split, but most were for the bill. This is a very conservative area too (votes 65-70% R).
Doesn't seem to mean much anymore. There was strong turnout in my state in supposedly Republican districts and Obomba got up to a third of the "Republican" vote. I'm not sure electoral demographics mean what they used to.
Platts is my Congresscritter too. I also doubt that the calls have been evenly split. I emailed through his website, but maybe I need to call too.
He’s usually pretty good about standing up for Conservative principles, though.
Liberals have a lot more free time than Conservatives.
They have time to protest, make calls, engage in “activism.”
They work in government agencies, not-for-profits and in higher education. They are often well-organized WITHIN these entities.
How many government bureaucrats have spent the day making calls? How many teachers, professors and social workers?
When you have three people doing the work of one, there’s plenty of time to complain.
NOTE: I called my Congressman today and e-mailed as well.
