House Call Volume Returns to Normal
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A spokeswoman for the House Administration Committee tells Fox News that they have not posted a "system alert" as they did yesterday when a deluge of phone calls flooded the Capitol switchboard, mostly over the debt ceiling debate.
Monday night President Obama suggested people call their Congressional representatives to tell them to compromise on a debt and deficit deal.
But as of 10 a.m. EDT Wednesday, call volumes had returned to normal levels.
