To add to
Tanya and joannelson's diary diary about calling Senators...
great advice excerpted below from
http://vichydems.blogspot.com/:
( find Senator contact info from either of these links):
Our theme today is: Lead, Follow, Or Get Out of the Way. In political terms, that's:
EITHER SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTER
OR ABSTAIN FROM THE CLOTURE VOTE,
BUT DON'T GET IN OUR WAY.
The plan is simple:
FIRST, call every office (DC and District) of YOUR OWN Democratic Senators and urge them to support the filibuster by either voting NO on cloture or by ABSTAINING from the cloture vote. Be short and sweet but hit every office listed below.
SECOND, call the "URGE ABSTENTION" Senators identified from http://vichydems.blogspot.com/ and do the same -- say that you hope they vote NO on cloture this afternoon but if they can't, urge them to ABSTAIN from the cloture vote.
THIRD, rinse and repeat. That is, go through the "Urge Abstention" list twice, at least for those offices that don't take detailed caller info like names and addresses.
FOURTH (my add), send this as an email to everyone you know, and ask them each to do the same.
We're all tired and busy, just do it!
