Erick Erickson over at RedState has posted a call to action for his Neanderthal brethren. His proposal? His readers should send a five pound bag of rock salt to the office of Olympia Snow. Rock salt on snow -- get it? Like water on the witch in The Wizzard of Oz (Argh!, Argh!). Isn't he clever?
Personally, I'm fine with Republicans directing their wrath toward one of their own. Funds that might otherwise be used in campaigns can buy salt -- great!
However, we must not let up in pressuring our Senators to get behind a serious public option. Let's not let Baucus, Nelson and others use Snow as a cover for opposing real reform.
More important than rock salt, let's keep manning the phones and sending letters to the editor. Also, tell Harry Reid the importance of pulling chairmanships and seniority for those who can't be counted on for procedural votes. (You listening, Lieberman? We're coming for YOU!)
My apologies to Neanderthals everywhere for my ill-considered comparison to RedState readers. Fortunately, I'm in great company. ;o)
