grassley's office guy just hung up on me

I consider that a badge of honor. I called to mention that a lot of prominent republican lawmakers are retiring and grassley should join them. The guy got angry and "asked" me not to call again unless I had something of substance to request or discuss. I told him that since my taxpayer dollars pay his salary, I'll call whenever I damn well please and say whatever I want. He then hung up on me. I'm calling again. And again. And again.
In the interest of fairness, the guy asked me not to call a couple of months ago as well when I mentioned that the Russians and the Koch bros. had him bought and paid for. I kept calling and will continue to call. See, I believe in Democracy and this is one way of showing it.
I should add that the office I call is in Davenport, Iowa, which is where I live.

That the guy they work for is a Racist Pig bought and paid for. I assure you, they are just like he is, and that's why they won't listen to what you have to say.

The rethugs may have passed a law against calling them.

Seriously, don't get yourself a harassment charge.

I'd hate to be a staffer and have to try to defend Grassley's overt obstruction.

But that's what they have to do for their paycheck

I imagine most of his staff regard Grassley as one of the good ones. Fools

I fight with Ernst's staff every time I call. They feel like they have to convert me I guess

563-322-4331. I don't have any of his other satellite numbers or his DC no. in front of me right now and my short term memory isn't all that good. Sorry it took so long to answer your post.
