I'll be calling these 2 Senators today asking them to consider "killing the bill". They are both not running next term and have "nothing to lose", so to speak. I'm in MA so i'll also be calling Senator Kerry, Rep John Olver and Rep Capuano.
Then i'll be calling Senator Reid's office. I'll be quoting Governor Dean.
