15 minutes on hold listening to some horrible muzak, but I finally won the hold war and got a human. I left my message rejecting this latest assault on health care then hung up. Probably a waste of 15 minutes, but I felt like I'd spoken my mind. I called turtleboy's office and got right through. The staffer was pleasant and professional. He did say they tally the calls received every day, so I figured that was well worth my time.

Durbin and Duckworth's offices (literally!) recognize my phone number now. I'm "in the system".
