I think it's gratifying to let the Rats know we won't take their krap lying down. They don't want to hear from us. Therefore, we should call them.
One other point: Not every aide even in liberal senators' offices is necessarily as liberal on every issue as the senator is. Some are basically just innocent kids with Democratic leanings -- the ones who answer the phones, anyway. You never know what impact you might have, especially if many people call.
First thing in the morning, call, fax, or write Senators McConnell, Lott, Kyl, Ensign, McCain, Warner, and Cornyn --the seven senators at the center of the debate, and Senators Gordon Smith of Oregon and Norm Coleman of Minnesota, who are both standing for-re-election in blue states and getting one-sided noise from the anti-war voters in their states. Urge them to refuse cloture on all resolutions. Urge them as well to enter this week's debate demanding support for the troops and a rejection of the resolution dance that, according to General Petraeus and Secreatry Gates, ecourages the enemy.
