Porkbusters Update IV
I've been quiet on this lately because I have been busy, but today I found five minutes to call the D.C. offices of both my home senators, Rick Santorum and Arlen Spector to find out if they are supporting the Coburn Amendment (pdf). Neither has an "official position" yet, and Spector's intern/staff person didn't know what it was.
I then called the offices of Joe Biden and Tom Carper, the two Democratic Senators from my adopted state of Delaware. Biden's intern/staff member had no idea what I was talking about, but Carper's was very receptive and said that she was unsure of the Senators position as of now, but that they were carefully considering it.
Glenn Reynolds has a great roundup of this.
I urge you all to call your Senators in support of this amendment.
Phone numbers:
Santorum: 202-224-6324
Spector: 202-224-4254
Biden: 202-224-5042
Carper: 202-224-2441
