FOr New Yorkers: Sen Clinton (202) 224-4451 Health LA: Christina Ho Senator Schumer Legis. Dir.: Polly Trottenberg Health LA: Missy Rohrbach Phone: (202) 224-6542 NOTE: When I called Schumer's office, i was asked if i was calling from an organization or as an individual. I said I was representing myself as a PWP. i don't see why it should make a difference, but it seemed like i would not have been connected if i had called on behalf of an organization. Guess they were getting a lot of calls.
