I called my senators earlier, but (not having seen this post yet) I may not have been as clear as I should have been about cloture vs. the bill itself, whoops. I did additionally ask them to try to stop the other senators from voting for it and also to support removing Chuck Schumer as minority leader, though.

On a related note, does anybody know why Raphael Warnock only has two offices but manages to have a staffer actually answer the phone anyway, while Jon Ossoff has five offices but calls still end up getting kicked to voicemail? Is there a huge disparity in the number of calls the two different Senators get, for some reason?

Unsure, but I can at least tell you in good news both your senators have now come out as NOs on cloture after public pressure

Doesn't hurt to call about asking them to pressure others certainly
