I posted on his facebook page, and sent the following to his site:

If you really want to help, you can stop siding with the lunatic, treasonous Republicans who are trying to start yet ANOTHER completely useless war of choice in the Middle East. I hope you will hear from enough people and organizations about this to make you understand that not only will you not get to be Senate leader, you could just possibly lose your Senate seat. This is a flat out historic opportunity to try to being some level of sanity to that part of the world, and you choose to side with the most radical, insane voices in this country. (Have Republicans EVER seen a war they didn't want? As long as their kids don't have to go fight it, of course.) Plus you are showing more respect and fealty to Netanyahu than you are to your own President. You should be ashamed, but I'm sure you're not.

You want to know why the Republicans have taken over the House & Senate? Because Democrats continue to try to be "Republican Lite" instead of Democrats. It has nothing to do with their ideas, because they don't have any. Except of course, to outlaw abortion and cut taxes for billionaires. Democrats don't recognize their own successes, and DON'T know how to sell them. Democrats got their butts handed to them in November because they ran away from the ACA instead of celebrating it. We had to listen to Democrat after Democrat running for office take pains to explain that s/he wasn't Obama. You continue to let the Koch Brothers set the agenda and talking points, while you all quake in your shoes because a Republican might say something mean. Grow a damn spine, and try standing for Democratic principles for a change.

I've joined a huge number of people and organizations who are pledging to NEVER DONATE ANOTHER DIME to any Democrat who sides with the Republicans on this. Think about it, and share this with your colleagues. You guys throw Obama under the bus, and give the Republicans enough votes to screw this thing up, and you will pay for it with your political careers. Democrats stayed home in droves in November & we'll do it again because you guys are giving us nothing to vote for. The country is tired of war. We have spilled both treasure and blood in the Mid-East. Enough is enough. Get this thing done . Support this accord, and your own President, or be prepared to be considered a traitor.
