Senator Boxer:
You are the only Senator so far who has indicated any willingness to join Congressman Conyers' objection to the counting of the electoral vote on Thursday. We realize that, if you were to join Conyers in objecting, the Mighty Wurlitzer will ridicule you and heap on the scorn. And we know that nobody likes to be ridiculed and scorned, even if said ridicule and scorn is entirely undeserving.
Thus, since we, the netroots, are the ones asking, or rather begging you to take this step, to join Congressman Conyers, we will make you the following promise:
If you, Senator Boxer, join Congressman Conyers in objecting to the electoral vote,
we will be there to support you legislatively when you need us. At some point during this Congressional term, there will be a bill you will want to get passed into law to help your constituents, and to improve America. At that time, if you need our help, you can dial the netroots and we will respond.
Now what, you ask, can we do?
Well, we can call and write members of congress whose votes you need.
We can cut crazy little blogads supporting your bill, and then raise money to place those ads on the internets.
We can relentless hound members of congress who dare speak out against the bill.
We can do research and come up with creative new arguments to support your bill.
We can volunteer in large numbers, and do whatever you ask (although typically, it is preferably if the tasks can be accomplished from behind a computer screen), to help pass your bill.
Maybe this ain't much, but it's all we got. And we will stand with you when you need us, Senator Boxer, if you stand with us now.
