Every resident of Illinois needs to call our elected Senators to get them to co-sponsor Bernie Sanders Medicare For All bill that he is introducing today. Currently he has 16 co-sponsors in the Senate. We need to get all the Dem Senators behind this bill.
Their telephone numbers to their Washington DC offices:
Sen. Durbin - 1-202-224-2152
Sen. Duckworth - 1-202-224-2854

(25,916 posts)I called both and talked with one of their people and both treated me with respect and listened to what I had to say - one took my name and address. Both Senate offices indicated that they haven't made their decision yet and that it would be forthcoming.
I didn't think that was them ignoring me. This is what one expects when one calls a Senator's office.
