Personal phone numbers

Today one of my opponents posted Rep. Cooper's personal cell phone number in public, encouraging people to call him about the health care bill. This is disgusting, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Elected representatives have separate office numbers and a private numbers for a reason. Call his office number if you want, it's 202-225-4311. That's what it's there for. But the man deserves a trusted method of communication, some way to communicate with staffers or for his family to get hold of him in an emergency.

Communication is good and necessary. Harassment is antithetical to democracy. Any of my supporters, please don't engage in harassment.
