One of my favorite senators is caving:
Ron Wyden. And one of my not-so-favorite senators has already caved:
Dianne Feinstein. Those links are the contact pages for the two of them.
Here is the story on the losing battle over Medicare.
Even so, the roster of declared Democratic supporters for the bill grew to nine, when Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California and Ron Wyden of Oregon announced their intentions to vote for it. In less-than-glowing assessments, both ascribed a series of benefits and shortcomings to the bill, and Wyden said his decision was "a very, very tough call."
I alread called and expressed my outrage over Rep. David Wu's betrayal. Now, I'm going to have to call Senator Wyden's office too and let him know that he is betraying us. Don't know if it'll help, but you all should think about calling the three of them (as well as the other fence sitters/defectors) and let them know exactly how you feel. Two of the finer members of the Oregon delegation... so damn depressing.
Dean is right when he says we need new leadership. I wonder if the party had already rallied around our eventual nominee if he could have exerted some influence on these people...
