The Brady Campaign has announced a call-in effort today to defeat S.659 or encourage Senators to attach it with bills.
They basically have already acknowledged that they can't match us in numbers support-wise so they are trying to pull a fast one by getting a lot of people to call in on the day before the bill hits the floor and hope that your Senators will only remember today and not all the emails, faxes and letters they have received from us in the past.
I don't think it will work personally; but just in case I am going to take 5 minutes out of my day to call my Senators and remind them that I want to see a clean version of S.659 with no anti-gun amendments passed.
The toll-free number to the Capitol Hill switchboard is 1-800-648-3516
You can find the direct line to your Senators office here:

According to CCRKBA, S.659 will be introduced to the floor tomorrow and whether it passes clean or not should be decided by the end of the week.
Very few times in your life will you have a chance to make such a positive impact on our rights for so little effort. No money involved and very little of your time is being asked for so please, give your Senators a call.
EDITED TO ADD:
Just called my Senators this morning and despite it being only 30 minutes since the offices opened, they said they are receiving quite a few calls on this issue (mostly in support of a clean S.659 since I live in Texas and my Senators represent that state); but there is definitely a push going on this morning by both sides.
