| Just got through to Harkin's office and was told that |
|
he probably won't be out participating in the fillibuster. Let the young lady know that I hope he will reconsider and that it is important for Iowans to hear from their Senator on this issue of the compromise.

| 2. Has he come out against it? Or, is he like one of my Senators, Cantwell, who |
|
hasn't taken a stand? :grr:

| 4. I couldn't get a definitive answer on where he stands. |
|
We need more callers to push.

| 6. The other day and today when I spoke w/Cantwell's office the initial response is |
|
"she voted against a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans". Obviously meant to appease those who aren't following this. :7 I said, I understand, but what is her position on the "framework" that Obama has introduced?

| 5. Called Boxer and was told 'she hasn't issued a statement' on whether |
|
she will be helping Bernie Sanders or not.
So, I guess she has not yet taken a stand either.

| 7. It's frustrating - the least they could tell their constituents is "she's asking from |
|
input from her constituents and studying this further so she can better make her decision, she'll issue a statement immediately when she does."
That's what I'd do anyway! :7

| 8. I wonder if you know why |
|
Harkin voted against the bills that split the rich from the middle class tax cuts. These votes took place last Saturday. One vote split the dollar amount to $250,000. The other vote was $1 million.
Feingold voted against it as well. And each of the WVa senators voted one of them down.
Am I to surmise that Harkin wants the ALL the tax cuts to expire???? I just didn't understand.
