“Contact your senators.
I live in Illinois :(.”
I am in the same boat. I live in Delaware. But here is an email I just sent my senators Biden and Carper(you do what you can...sigh);
Dear Senator Carper,
It has come to my attention that the senate may consider a must pass continuing resolution that includes an extention of the offshore drilling ban. It is my opinion that the ban should be allowed to expire and including an extention of the ban in the CR is unfair as it intimidates those how oppose the ban by forcing senators to shut down the government. Please use what influence you have within the democratic senate leadership to let the brilling ban be a stand alone vote. Let there be debate. Don’t ram the ban down our throats. Thank you for your consideration.
I have Claire (Obama) McCaskill. Yuck!
