2. Well I don't want him as one of our Senators anymore
And I hope come 2010 the Democrats make more than a token effort to unseat him.

8. The Council Bluffs number is routed to Sioux City
But nobody answered - I left a message there. Neither Harkin or Grassley have people here anymore apparently.

Then called Des Moines to talk to a real person.

4. Grassley is wrong
Again. Everyone I talk to knows something has to be done, and tax cuts are not the answer.

6. I just called their offices again.
I liked Grassley's little exhibition about Groundhog Day. It reminded me of the pukes and tax cuts. Over and over and over and over and they don't work.

7. Me too.
Called local and DC numbers for Chucky just to make sure he gets the message!

Both Harkin and Grassley people said they don't know how each will vote yet. But one can assume that Tom will vote yea?

9. I called (yeah, I'm not in Iowa, but I intend to be again one day),
and the aide told me Grassley "hasn't made a public commitment as to how he'll vote on the stimulus". :rofl:

Gettin' warm, is it, Chuck?

11. I called and Chuck does not support the stimulas package
The person on the other end clearly stated that Chuck will not support the stimulus package because he disagrees with certain provisions.. SO I told him you don't shoot the horse because he threw a show and that Chuck shouldn't be claiming to speak for most Iowans..

12. Surprised you got that response.
All I ever got was 'we are keeping score.'

13. I called the local office, then the DC office.
You could have heard a pin drop when I told them how disappointed I was in Sen. Grassley. The right wing calling banks outside outside our state have been pretty busy lobbying our people. The only reason I know this, is that ta dah... I work with a number of very right wing people who are activists.

But it is good to remind Harkin.. He needs to know we are our here supporting him
