I've been calling my Rep & Senator every day for the last 3 days, just polite answers that they haven't heard back. I went in person to my Rep's office yesterday as well. Today I was told that someone at my Rep was calling the LA Passport Office every 10 minutes, and that voicemail was full.
My travel is in less than 48 hours.
Did you try the instructions in the wiki (post at top/first page) where you call right before 8AM EST then right when it turns 8AM you click the button to talk to a person? Maybe that will help. Everything was full when I tried it, but I got ahold of someone after a short wait, but online people seem to need to be transferred to a special agent which slows us down after that. But my total wait at 8AM was less than 45 minutes.
But they book either 5 days or 14 days ahead of time so this method might not be helpful if you need it in the next 2 days. The senator might be the only one who can help or if there is a last minute cancellation.
