No Need to Push

TPM Reader DM checks in with a question …

I’d be curious if you have any info from the hill on how much people are contacting congress over Health Care today. A lot of folks (including me) who live in liberal districts were sort of leaving it to Obama to push for reform. As long as he was there, what need was there for us to push someone who we knew was a reliable D vote. I contacted my rep (Zoe Lofgren) today for the first time (ever) and I doubt I’m the only one.

As to the question, I have no idea. We’ve been so focused today on figuring out which way the different members were leaning that I don’t think we heard one way or another what members were hearing from constituents.
