While you are calling...

How about your Senators too?

One new co-sponsor is all we have... so these calls are important.

Sen Kennedy, Edward M. [MA] - 7/22/2009

You can find their information here too.

Peter Welch is my guy! I don't always agree with his politics, but he DOES listen.

Things are looking up, right?

Good work on Senator Kennedy!

Here's a link to the IDSA's letter asking him to OPPOSE it. I didn't realize that we were in such direct competition!
