Now that the Senate Democratic Leadership is looking into the Gannon affair, I urge all my fellow Oregonians and Beavertonians to call their elected representatives in Congress and let them know you demand an inquiry into this matter.
Representative David Wu (D-OR)
1-202-225-0855
(the staffer who answered was very interested in receiving my call, and agreed that if this was President Kerry, we’d see Ken Starr being called upon to bring this incident to light!)
Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR)
1-202-224-3753
(the staffer here wasn’t as interested in my call. I understand. Republicans are very tolerant when it comes to gay hookers.)
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)
1-202-224-5244
(no answer when I called. C’mon, gang, wake up, this is important!)
UPDATE: Commenter drewish reminds me that it’s easier on the staff if you give them a specific bill number or congressional issue to comment on. So, quoting from AMERICAblog:
Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to contact your two Senators NOW and ask them to sign Senator Durbin’s “Dear Colleague” letter about Jeff Gannon/Guckert, the fake GOP journalist that was given access to the White House.
