FILIBUSTER – Swing votes

Democrats.com links to a list of all Senators, some identified as “Democratic swing vote” and others as “Democrat not supporting filibuster.”

I cut out all of those and pasted them below. Note that the list includes local office fax and phone numbers, which may be useful since reports are that many the DC voicemail boxes and fax machines are now full or turned off. (WOO-HOO! We’re getting through!)

If you fax – it has been suggested that hand-written faxes have more of an impact.

I’ve also included the pro-choice Republicans. This may give you some ammunition for them:

RMC Opposes Judge Alito for Supreme Court

The Republican Majority for Choice (RMC) regrettably announces its opposition to the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

Suggested message – for swing voters, ask them to support the filibuster. For those who have declared that they are opposed to a filibuster, ask them to vote “present” on the cloture vote. Remind them that a no vote is meaningless if they vote yes on cloture.

I teach biology at our local community college in Austin, Texas. My political awakening began in 1966 at age 17 when I spent several hours listening to a Marine home on R&R from Vietnam describe what was really happening over there.
