Calling Concerned Dems

Fellow Floridians: Call Senator Bill Nelson and tell him to support John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. Filibuster Alito right out of consideration.

If you're living large somewhere far from the Sunshine State, here's information on your Senators and ways to contact them via Main St. USA :

**********************************************************************************
Below are numbers for the various offices. However, many of the voicemails are full, so use other numbers, fax, and e-mail. Please do this no matter where you live in the U.S. (And no, you don't need to lie about where you live. If they ask, be honest. If they don't, fine.) Also included in the list: people on the fence or people that we need to work on, indicated by various offices. Robert Byrd already said he would vote in support of Alito. Some offices have given out these names. We need them. If they don't want to vote "No" on cloture, ask them to "Abstain". Don't vote at all - stay home.
