Swing Votes! Contact these senators. Tonight!

[bfieldburt]

From "The Hill" newspaper today:
-------------
One Democratic aide said Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) will “probably be the [deciding] vote.†The votes of the two North Dakota senators, Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad, both Democrats, are also seen as still in play.

On the Republican side, Sens. George Voinovich (Ohio), Gordon Smith (Ore.), Peter Fitzgerald (Ill.) and Richard Lugar (Ind.) are still believed to be undecided.

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who was seen as a possible swing vote, indicated last week that he would oppose the amendments, but his office left open the possibility that he would change his mind.
------------------------
Call these people tonight....1-800-648-3516....(I've been getting through 80% of the time on this number now that it is after hours). Ask to be transferred to their offices and leave a message on their voice mails.

 

[Jeff White]

Peter Fitzgerald is leaning towards voting against us if you can believe the papers here. He's retiring after one term but I've e-mailed and called anyway. He's always been antigun. The only thing that may sway him is the party losing.

Done

Time for work and prayer

 

[Don Gwinn]

Jeff, how important do you think the Republican party is to Fitzgerald? They've burned a lot of bridges with him, several this year (he was mightily opposed to the "Lincoln Presidential Library" pork barrel.)

I don't know if it did any good, but I called and reminded him that the Republicans are all being watched.

Sen. Breaux, Louisiana, needs calls

I got a call from a key insider saying that Sen. John Breaux, from Louisiana, is waffling on the Gun Show amendment.

Calls to his office are needed.

 

[Kharn]

You can email Breaux at: [email protected]
I just sent him one (stuck at work, no phones ).

A phone call is cheap ammunition

I called Senator Fitzgerald's Washington office and got through just now (7:54am Central Time)

 

[tfurey19]

"Geek, those were fax numbers. My ears thank you. "

HaHa a test to see who as actually calling

Keep on this its almost over!

If you haven't called yet do so now!

If you already called do it again!

 

[general]

Ah... fax numbers....ahahahahahaha

The capitol phone list in .pdf only has Phone #'s... have to go to each Senators site to get the fax #'s ... or do you?

 

[bfieldburt]

Just send him an e-mail also. Everyone do it.

 

[Sungun09]

Emailed Fitzgerald

Yes I did.. 8:32 am

 

[Abe]

Feingold is one of my senators. He's up for re-election this year. His opponent is a republican named Russ Darrow. So the election comes down to choosing the right Russ. Problem is that while he's a republican, I'm no fan of Darrow. So I've got a local lesser of two evils choice. I've phoned, emailed, faxed Feingold and told him this and that I will be watching his vote carefully.

FWIW, I've also contacted Kohl, but I'm not looking for any free thought\action out of that unit.

- Abe

 

[Molon Labe]

I emailed every one of them.

 

[w4rma]

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) votes NO!

He's also the ONLY Senator to vote NO against the Patriot Act!

Sen. Feingold is now my favorite Senator.

 

[George Hill]

My emails have all been sent... and resent.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Feingold: No
Dorgan: Yea
Conrad: Yea
Voinovich: Yea
Smith: Yea
Fitzgerald: Yea
Lugar: Yea

Red = Republicans who sold us out

 

[Jeff White]

I knew Fitzgerald would sell us out. And there is nothing we can do to retaliate, he's not running for re-election.

[SodaPop]

When is this vote over?

When do we know all of the results?

 

[Denko]

I called Gordon Smith R-OR, his secretary told me he hadn't decided yet.Then I read the report of his vote here.I don't have allot of faith in the party of compromise and defeat.I read that Schroomer has called for Cheny to vote.Any info on this?

 

[Carlos]

Well, both our Senators from Oregon screwed the gunowner today.

It's all history now.
