I have created a spreadsheet of Senate votes to date in re 1384 and the various amendments; the thought is that it would be useful to rate proposed amendments as favorable or unfavorable, then see how each Senator votes. This will help when contacting Senators on this legislation ("Why did you vote to support X?") as well as provide future reference for fundraising, opposition research, etc. The goal is to have a reliable source of info to hold Senators accountable for their votes and our citizenship.
2. I am open for suggestions on how to improve it; for instance, it might be useful to have office/fax #s and email addresses...
3. Do you find having this info useful?
Thanks!
Can you email the file?
1. go to sendspace.com
2. sign up for an account
3. upload your spreadsheet file
4. copy the link to download the file
5. create a new FR post(with an appropriate title) and put the link in the thread.
I would love to have this info. Thanks

Very interested in getting feedback on the spreadsheet, as well as observations on voting patterns...
Some folks are having problems with Excel 2007, so here is a link to the Excel 2003 version: http://www.sendspace.com/file/afjbt7
Fascinating! Worth a look, thanks.
Does anyone already have a list of contact information for our US senators so that I could add it to the spreadsheet? Thanks!
Could the admin or moderator please corrrect the references from ‘1384’ to ‘1348’ in the title and comment?
Thanks!
Very useful, thanks!
