I was with Jim Rob when visited the Senate offices on Monday. WHile we were waiting in Collins’ office, I spoke with one of the three secretaries who were frantically answering the phone calls. I asked her why we couldn’t get through. She was very apologetic about the situation. Here’s how she explained their “system.”
They only have 3 incoming lines. If all three are busy, our calls go directly to voice mail (until that overflows also). As soon as one of the calls is finished, that line becomes free for another call. The only way you can get through is to just keep hitting the “re-dial” button on your phone — over and over and over. Maybe you’ll “get lucky.” I specifically asked if they could select the calls they choose to answer (I was fishing for the possibility that they only answer calls from their own state. She assured me they could not do that. FWIW, I do not believe she was giving me another of those “political” lies — I think this is really how it works — at least at Collins’ office.
The same thing seemed to be going on in Snowe’s office also — but we only saw 2 secretaries there. Could have been more behind closed doors, but I doubt it.
Clearly they are “staffed” and “connected” for “normal business,” not a deluge like they are getting.

Why is there not more talk about Snowe? It seems the focus is always on Collins or Spector.
iMacMan,
Thank you for your thorough explanation of Senator Collins office. You have restored my faith. I will keep trying.
I appreciate your effort to give me this background. Thank you to your efforts too on your visit to D.C.
Klobuchar has about 30 staffers. I still have yet to get a reply.
I think the GOP minus the 3 traitors should just abstain from even being around when the vote is taken. Get as far away from Porkulus as you can lest you be stained by the fat from thing. Let anyone who will listen know you were not involved with the bankrupting of America and remind them which party was and that there is is in NO WAY
“bi-partisan”.
