I Put In A Call Today To Sen. Mark Kirk's (IL) Office.....

He's a Repug Senator that lost to Dem. Tammy Duckworth and he is now a lame duck.

I tried to appeal to a sense of 'patriotism' and suggested to the person that was handling his calls that - he stand up and be a patriot and join in the call for a bi-partisan investigation of Russian hacking and their influence on the election.

As a lame duck - he really has nothing to lose to do this. He would leave office by making a positive statement calling for this investigation and maybe he might even pull a couple of other Repug senators along with him by joining the call for investigation.

I asked for the same as you - investigations into hacking of all kinds by the Russians.

They were cordial and non combative. It's always good to call the local office, imo.
