Do Freshman Congressman still have to use the GOP call center on Capitol Hill each week to make the required GOP fundraising calls they used to demand?

They used to have an empty call center in which, based on seniority, you had to go in and sit down to make X number of calls per week. The newer you were, the more calls you had to make. All were party fundraising calls.
The Dems had the same thing. Blank desks, cubicles, a phone. Grab a seat, use the provided list and script, call until you're a braindead party member. This was often while more senior members did a fundraising breakfast, pay-per-plate luncheon, followed by a fundraising dinner.
You made calls while Teddy Kennedy was over at Sans Souci or some other place having a power lunch that lasted hours. And if you didnt make your calls, guys like him crushed you. And you made the calls the next week. The beltway is a weird, fucked up place.
