I've been calling this Tax Cuts deal the "Bad Deal". Hoping it'll catch on.
Progressive Hero Bernie Sanders (I-VT) (and friends) are mounting a real-live filibuster to fight against this Bad Deal.
Mehitabel9's Mothership is here.
Diary #2 by the dogs sockpuppet is here.

We're on to Liveblog #5 by webranding. Head on over there to continue the conversation!
Tweet this up people! Make sure more people notice it! Bernie Sanders is currently the #2 trending topic on Twitter, yet a lot of news outlets still aren't reporting on this. Check that... just as I'm posting this it looks like a few places are finally starting to pick it up. KEEP AT IT!
He's been at this since 10:25 AM EST, and he's still going strong!
Go Bernie Go!

I emailed my Senators (Gillibrand and Schumer). Email your Senators and tell them to give him their support.
Senate Contact Info - Call up your senator and ask them to support Senator Sanders! While you're at it, ask them to vote against the bill if it comes up next week!
Also contact Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Senator Mary Landrieu(?!) (D-LA) and thank them for their support!
More Liveblog diarists needed...volunteer under the tip jar.
Even Keith Olbermann stopped by the mothership to chime in!
Edit - Action Update: Whose idea was it?
Edit - New: The Congressional Black Caucus comes out against the Bad Deal
Edit: Also, you can call or email your Congressman to let them know your feelings on this Bad Deal. After all, it has to pass both the Senate and the House.
Final Edit: Head over to Liveblog #5 by webranding to continue the conversation. I'm heading home soon and probably won't get a chance to check this out again till late tonight. Go Bernie!
