Pat Toomey has said on social media that he's a yes for Devos. A few friends and myself tried showing up at his office the last 2 days in hopes to change his mind.

Re: DeVos update
Some encouraging words that our calls and opinions DO make a difference. Or they can anyway:
GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski says constituent calls to her office against DeVos were a major reason why she is voting against her nomination

I'm seeing everywhere that he's still not committed. Unless something changed within the last hour or so. Worth a shot! Also dean heller of Nevada.

I just looked myself and it appears he's deleted it on Facebook. Its the reason why we went to his office in Harrisburg, because he started deleting our comments as well.

DeVos update
Since this probably one of the only topics we'll agree about : ) I'm reposting what one of my friends put on a different site. I called the 202 number.
***********
Senator Portman's office is taking a tally of who calls in to oppose DeVos. All you need to do is call and say "I want to ask Senator Portman NOT to confirm Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education." That's it! Barely takes one minute. Call today and tell your friends to do the same!
Rob Portman - He's a Center Right Republican from Ohio
Here are all of Senator Portman's office numbers:
Washington, D.C. Office
Phone: 202-224-3353
Columbus Office
Phone: 614-469-6774
Toll-Free: 1-800-205-6446 (OHIO)
Fax Number (614) 469-2171
