I just called the office of Rahm Emanuel to 1) state my support for his amendment to defund the office of the vice president and 2) to ask what would be the best approach to take with my representative-- what bill number should I refer to when I write to my congressman?
The Emanual staffer, after a pause for research, responded that I should state support for the Emanuel Amendment to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill. That's the official title for it. So there it is. People get calling and writing.
Also, I asked when his statement would be up on his web site; I'd seen it mentioned elsewhere, but wanted to cite it at the source. Sigh. It'll take a few days before it's up, but it'll be up there. Not everything moves in internet time.
