The Health Reform bill came out of committee on Wednesday, and as a result, frantic constituents barraged interns and staff assistants Senate-wide with unceasing phone calls telling them to "STOP KILLING OUR FREEDOM!"
There were the rare pro-reform calls, of course, but it just goes to show that people are far more into negative criticism than positive reinforcement. Desperation breeds action; contentment, complacency.
For my part, I participated in making Social Legislation History by running to the Stationary Store to pick up "six of the largest binders you can find" to carry The Bill. I then hole-punched the beast while fielding calls.
Only to find at the end that I had done it backwards.
