Does a congressman have a cell phone in the well of the house?

If it has a speakerphone function it could be internet streamed even if it goes from just cellphone a to cellphone b which is next to the mic.

This could be the rebellion we are FINALLY praying for.

I just called with encouragement.

Everyone let them know we’re “watching”. The sweet girl who answered the phone sounded so happy that people were hearing about this.
