>>Update of my calls today. This is my third round of calls. Three days three sets of calls. Started at 10:40 central time. Ended at 11:37. Between each call I worked on this post, which I didn't start until I started making calls. Please share your call reactions as well. Anything major stand out or was shared? The more we know the better we can move ahead.

>>Congressman Kendrick Meek (D-FL)
>>DC# said thank you for calling and recording
>>FL # informed me congressman Meek's constituents wanted this bill passed and that is how he is planning on voting. He also admonished me for "wasting my time calling from WI since this is a local issue."

If it is a bill being introduced into the US House, then it is a national issue and not a local issue. How obvious is that one? Also, as for contacting other congressmen and women, if they are on that committee or sponsors of the bill, then it makes sense to contact them with your opinion, although it won't have much of an impact on them. In that case, it is your own Congress people that need to be contacted and made aware of the bill.
