Yes, we too, can make phone calls from down here in South America and boy do I plan to put in a few hours in the next vital couple of weeks. If you saw my last blog with all of the Senate bills Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored and Hillary hasn't, you'll understand how this next part came so easily.
When I make calls, I must admit I'm pretty bad with the scripts and end up just spilling from my gut, though it's not too far off, but for me, it's more comfortable being personal. So tonight, I thought that, just in case it came in handy, I would look up bills Obama has co-sponsored for the fine senators from Ohio, Texas (none), Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In case anyone else out there volunteers in a more personal style and would like this info, I thought I'd pass it along. Even if I don't use it, I appreciate knowing I know it.
