Even if they "don't get it" or refuse to do so, calls still make a difference. Remind them of jobs in their district

Good point--one thing that will get there attention is when we stop buying stuff :( but perhaps we should all contact our local reps who are also starting to get worried about their jobs--the microscope companies as well

No. We are proceeding more slowly than usual but the current plan still is 75 admissions rather than 100.

Interesting. I always say both that I work at the University *AND* that I'm a constituent who lives in the district when I call. I guess when I email I use my gmail though, not the University one. some vague sense that I don't speak for my U.
