We're in crunch time for Health Care Reform in the House.  If you want it, imperfect as it admittedly is, for goodness sake call your Representative and say so.  You can find your Representative's phone number here.  You need your zip + 4 but there's a link on that page to get it if you don't already know it.

I called (had to call the local number; the DC number is always busy) and I sent an e-mail.

I called and was told my congresscritter is solidly in favor of the bill and already intending to vote for it. Part of me was pleased, part of me wished I lived someplace where rounding up some phone calls might make a difference to a waverer.

Well, I will be unabashedly astonished if my Rep votes for it. But I had to try.

You can at least let them know that there's somebody in their district who will be pissed off at them for rejecting it.

This is what you get for leaving Oregon for Tennessee, alas.

Don't I know it!

I figure you're in either TN-02 or 03, and in either case, you're right, he's unalterably opposed to any HCR whatsoever, no matter what it says.

You might be able to do some good by calling Lincoln Davis, the Democrat from the neighboring District 4, though. He's said to be still undecided.

Thanks--I'll try to check this out.

I tried calling but couldn't reach a human, and his voice mail is full and not accepting messages

I guess we weren't the only ones with the idea.

Latest news is, Davis is leaning "no", which would put him with the entire Tennessee delegation except the two Reps from Nashville and Memphis.
