    Best number to contact?

    I called Senator Obama's campaign today; it was the first time in my life that I've ever made a political phone call. And I plan to donate to ActBlue on payday next week.

    I've written to my Senators and congressman already, and they're going to be voting against amnesty. But I want to call my Senators as well, to hammer home the point that this issue deserves a filibuster which they had damned well better support. Just wondering, is it better to call them at their DC number, or their in-state number? Is there a difference?
