Please contact your senators and put the political fear of God, and a fear for their political life into them...and ask everyone you know to do the same.

In particular, after the victory of Chambliss in Georgia (which was also a huge victory for Sarah Palin, showing the influence she has and what we can expect on a much larger scale in 20101)

It is possible that in 18,093 years, she may indeed be ready.

I like it. They are going to need some focused group tested sales points on why these items are bad to convince the public, and some carefully written polls to throw the press.

The fillibuster is the MOST effective when it is used to hold up a bill long enough that it becomes unpopular. You can see this with the UAW bailout and Pelosi/Reid/Obama trying to find a winning position , now that polls show the public against it. Fillibusters are less effective if they are done against items that stay popular, for whatever reason, because you just loose the next election like 2008. This is because the public wants Washington ‘to get things done’, and the MSM plays that up.

This is a very good letter, except that the dangerous union card check legislation must also be addressed.

Ping! We need to start writing. I just wrote both my Senators and my Congressman.

Great post! I added these:

10. Any effort to require non-secretive union voting.
11. Any effort to re-introduce any type of Fairness Doctrine.
12. Any effort to derail nuclear power.
13. Any effort to require community service of our children.
14. Any effort to cut necessary military programs and spending.
15. Any effort to bailout industries that are responsible for their own demise.
