this is going to be a real short diary...... Call senator Bernie Sanders
1-(802) 862-0697
If you are disgusted , unhappy, disturbed, upset, whatever word covers what you are currently feeling about the so-called compromise bill to raise the debt ceiling
Call senator Bernie Sanders
1-(802) 862-0697
The number is to his office and they are currently closed till tomorrow but you can leave a message
If nothing else Bernie Sanders can do a senate hold
senate holds are anonymous for 2 days if only him (more than enough time) and can be indefinite anonymous if others join him anywhere during the 2 day time period. Even if it doesn't remain anonymous, Bernie sanders being (I) socialist party can let any scared Dems keep their hands clean on this

or he can be public and just state he is filibustering it till either
1- clean bill to raise the debt limit hits the congress 30 minutes before default
or
2- force Obama to do what he should
Otherwise the bill as it is being portrayed now is everything the repubs want and bad for dems, middle america, etc
