I contacted Bob Bennett's office. A staffer reports he is against cloture and further claimed it is an erroneous rumor that was reported on a Wisconsin radio station but later was corrected. Please spread the word.

Burr's office has not taken a position on cloture. I was sent to Kyl's voice mail. I will try his office again a little later.

Keep calling Burr’s office! I just got off the phone with a staffer and NOW they are stating that there was a miscommunication within the office and that Sen. Burr has not yet reached a formal decision as to whether or not he is voting for or against cloture re 1776.

The staffer tried to assert that 1776 and the Baucus bill were separate but I politely disabused her of that notion and explained that the Baucus bill achieves alleged budged neutrality by not counting the cost which is involved in S. 1776.

I told her that if S. 1776 passes (and its 200+ billion dollar cost) separately, that will help pass Obamacare by giving the Dems the fraudulent talking point that that Obamacare is budget neutral when it is so clearly not.

Keep calling!!! The calls to Sen. Burr’s office appear to be having an effect.
