I would rather not say who for my privacy, but I am working for a US Senator and we have been innudated by calls all today in opposition to the nuclear option. The vote will be today. I am not concerned about the Senator I work for because he is a staunch conservative but if this is a national pattern of calls (and I'm sure it is), it ought to be countered.
Everyone needs to call the offices, preferably DC, of their two Senators. I don't have time to look up the numbers for every one, but to get them, go to their homepages. Every Senator's address looks like http://frist.senate.gov, or http://reid.senate.gov, or http://kennedy.senate.gov, and so on and so forth. Call them now and express your support for the nuclear option. Thank you.

Just dropped a line to Chuck Hagel. Hopefully that RINO will show some stones and vote to end the filibuster. I am not holding my breath though. I guess every little bit helps.

I don't give a f*** what you call it, it's not up for a vote now--nor, after the fiasco of the last two weeks, is it going to be up for a vote at all.

The "Nuclear Option" has been nuked. And by the same exact people who wanted it the most.
Bad headwork and SA, there.

The Senate Republicans do not have the balls to impose this.

What's really sad is that those who pulled that stunt apparently had no idea that they were making that choice. It's hard to believe that all those longtime "activists" had so little political savvy.
What were they thinking? Or was there some OTHER motive?

Feingold and Kohl. Two of the biggest obstructionists. They haven't listened to me any other time I've contacted them, what makes you think they'll start now?

Randall Terry wants to lead the "pro-life" Sinn Fein.
And every Sinn Fein needs a bunch of roughneck Provos for "street muscle."

"every Sinn Fein needs a bunch of roughneck Provos for "street muscle."" And a continuing, and unending "cause" to rally 'round (and raise funds for). Which a successful "nuclear option" would have ended. Got it.

Got it.No, once "the cause" was achieved, they'd do something parallel to what the Provos always said would come after they forced reunification of Ireland and Ulster--namely, go to phase II and seek to impose a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on all of Ireland.
If abortion was outlawed, the Army of God would probably go after adult bookstores, followed by Victoria's Secret shops, etc...
