Just a quick diary, but if we want to really give Bart Stupak some grief over his amendment, today seems like a really great day to do it. I saw a comment on FDL about how his office is reacting to complaints and questions about the amendment:
by the way, Stupak’s office is having a bad day.
any attempt to ask a question about the amendment is literally met with screams from the woman answering the phone. i know, because it just happened to me. She screamed at me almost as soon as the words "i have a question about the Stupak Amendment" came out of my mouth. And then she tried to shout me down before hanging up on me, and to be honest, i hadn’t even rasied my voice.
So i called back, tried to calm her down, and said that I’d gotten conflicting information. she refused to let me speak to a legislative aide, refused to put me through to voicemail, said she was too busy to answer ym question, and encouraged me to call back "after 5:30″, which is of course when the office is closed.
just to give you an idea of what they’re dealing with, deservedly so, in DC.
This got me curious, so I called. The guy wouldn’t let me finish, talked over me, and hung up on me. When I tried to call back, he said I could call back when I wasn’t "yelling at him" (I wasn’t yelling) and hung up on me again.

Hey, thanks!
Also, from the comments, politicslovr has a good suggestion:
