To my surprise, Sen. Akaka has come out against filibuster:

But maybe we can get him to change his mind. He's running for re-election against a Blue Dog challenger and is counting on loyal support from his liberal base. So I don't know what he's thinking here.
His contact information is below the fold.

I strongly support Sen. Akaka's re-election (his campaign is listed on my ActBlue page: http://www.actblue.com/list/raatz). He has a sterling progressive voting record (with, unfortunately, the notable exception of ANWR). I think we have a chance to get him back on the right side of this issue.
Mahalo!
