Yeah, I'm in Maryland and am in the same boat, so my calls were more of the keep doing what you're doing variety. Though we have one new senator, so I wanted to let him know that we're paying attention.

Theoretically, phone calls get easier. I don't think it's true in practice. I just have to call before I think about it too hard or else, it's procrastination station. It's also why I'm a fan of making a time and putting it on the calendar - no excuses for being too busy.
