I've emailed both my senators this morning to remind them they serve with the consent of the governed, and expressing my anger at their support of porkulus. Unfortunately, I have no representation in Washington, since my senators are Specter and Casey.

Joint the Club. Mine are Levin and Stabenow.
Specter has been looking pretty ragged lately. Keep up the pressure and he might pop...
One third of the Senate is up for re-election next year. If enough pressure is brought to bear on the right people it seems like it might be possible to "urge" a few Dims to vote against this bill. It might take more than phone calls, though. My Senators are Lamar! Alexander and "Builder" Bob Corker. I'm certainly no fan of either for a variety of reasons, but at least they knew better than to vote for this boondoggle.
Keep the pressure on! Good luck!
I'll swap for my Lautenberg and Menendez. Talk about a lack of conservative representation.
