I want to contact some Senators on this but don't know exactly what to say. Also, is there any record of which Senators are either OPPOSED to or ON THE FENCE regarding Estrada's nomination?

I phoned Hatch's and Frist's offices and said that I appreciated their efforts to support the nomination of Miguel Estrada, and I was praying for their strength to continue.

If you'd like, please call the US Senators from Florida: Bill Nelson and Bob Graham.

I have called their office and urged them to support the Estrada nomination. Their staff has told me that the Senators have not made up their mind yet. We have a huge Hispanic population that can decide any statewide election.

You can use the following toll free number, ask the operator to talk to the Senator by name:

877-762-8762.

Here's some background. Study up. It's helpful when talking to the Senators' staff on the phone. Good for you!
