I called both my Senators yesterday about the "health care" secret bill.

I noticed something I've noticed before.

Senator Graham, I get to leave a voicemail message. (Well, at least this time, I didn't get the message that the voicemail was full.)

Senator Scott, I get to talk to an aide.

I can only speculate that Graham is better known. I'm sure his race has nothing to do with it.

Either he's been better about clearing his vmail, or people aren't calling. I hope it's not the latter.

I told them since Missouri is the Show Me state, he needs to stand up and say show us the bill. McCaskill did fairly well stepping up and saying this. I do wish she would have used our state nickname as it is short, easy to understand and very relevant in this situation!
