"Okay - here's the appeal:

I called his office. I said it was important enough for me to call all the way from California. The staffer on the other end said mine was the ONLY call they've received that was supportive, and it was MUCH appreciated. Apparently, there's been a storm of protest calls slamming him by hoards of flying monkeys from the Dark Side.
GUYS: IF YOU CAN...

PLEASE call his office. Or contact him in some other way."
