Supporters of Sen. Jesse Helms have set up a toll-free number to help homophobes call Congress to support Helms's recent spate of anti-gay amendments. This number, however, simply connects to the congressional switchboard and from there to any member of Congress. Use (800) 768-2221 while it lasts to lobby for drug policy reform at Jesse Helms's expense!
