Senate Switchboards On Fire As Health Care Calls Flood Zone

We've heard all day about senate offices getting flooded with phone calls about the upcoming vote on the health care bill tomorrow.

As we reported earlier, Organizing for America is doing a call blast urging supporters to ask their senators to back the first procedural vote to start debate. Republicans also have been working the phones to ask senators to block the bill.

An aide to a Senate Democrat tells TPMDC their boss' phone rang so frequently today, the lines were busy for hours.

The calls "continued to fill our voicemail box over and over again," the aide said.

The overflow prompted another flood of calls to state offices. The majority of calls to this senator, who already supports the legislation, were in favor of the bill.
