Filibuster push is on
And apparently, my state needs some more pushing.
Just got off a conference call with Ted Kennedy and others, and we got a better idea where the Dems are on all of this.
Some notes:
Maria Cantwell is reportedly quite wobbly, and might be succeptible to pressure. If Cantwell falls, Murray will potentially fall too.
Levin, Harkin, Bayh, Lautenberg, Lincoln, Pryor and Lieberman (who has not in fact committed) all need pressure. As do Baucus and Menendez.
Cantwell’s a big business republican at heart, so her “wobbliness” is of the Liebrerman sort. However if she or Murray believe they can get away with not voting no for cloture, then they’ve got another think coming. I promise you, if they do not vote no on cloture, then I will do everything in my power to unseat both of them for every election in every jurisdiction they may be in for the rest of my life.
So call them. Here’s the phone database link again.
Cantwell: (202) 224-3441
Murray: (202) 224-2621
