For what it's worth, I've heard that e-mails are the least credible vehicles to send messages to senators; they're pretty much ignored. Best are handwritten letters, second are typed letters, then faxes. (Did not hear where phone calls fit, but expect quite high.)
Fax if you can. Emails are auto responded and telephones, if you get through, are handled by adninistrative assistants.
Faxes are hard copy and get right in the office and reviewed by one of the higher up Aids.
I have used faxes for years on other projects and they still work the best.
CALL: SENATE MAJORITY LEADER BILL FRIST AT HIS LEADERSHIP OFFICE --- 202-224-3135
I just called this number and it's a wrong number.
Perhaps I miss dialed?
OK, I regret any inconvenience I may have conveyed....
I called the Frist local office and conveyed the message.
To increase the pressure call the Tri Cities Frist office to make them feel wanted.

"The President has said he is not going to impose a litmus test, he faced that issue squarely in the third debate...."
Sounds like Specter's threatening to cue up the videotape. Watch out!
Conservative wing raises fuss over Specter's views
Carl Hulse, New York Times
November 6, 2004
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Angry conservatives flooded Senate phone and fax lines Friday demanding that Republicans prevent Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., from presiding over the Judiciary Committee for saying two days earlier that judicial nominees who strongly oppose abortion might be rejected.
Republican senators and their aides, speaking privately for the most part, said the uproar posed an impediment for Specter, who is in line to succeed chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, atop the committee that examines judicial nominees. It was likely that he would still get the post, they said, but not certain. "He is not out of the woods," said one aide.
Stop Specter!
