Damn near impossible to contact my senators

Google takes me to a website that says "Security risk"

I had an email from dailykos that had their phone numbers I remembered. So I called one and it rang 10 times. Then a machine picked up and said "Leave a message." Then almost immediately said "Message too long" and hung up.

I was finally googled state offices and called one of them. I let her know how crappy the website was etc. Also let off a good message against the ACHA.

Called the other one and had almost an exact repeat of the previous situation.

My senators are the repulsive Grassley and Ernst.

Anybody els have such problems?

Cruz and Cornyn are unreachable and have been for as long as I remember. No answer, voicemail always full when you call.

Plus, when you email him, he sends back condescending replies, as if you are too stupid to understand whatever the issue is. I despise that P.O.S.

the state offices are hit or miss and the staffers are usually pretty dismissive if you aren't calling to say how wonderful they are.

ETA: Yeah, mine are the same as yours, Grassley and Ernst. Ick.
