Call Your Senators
Focus on the Fascist Family has issued an alert on its website, urging their zombie followers to call the following key Senators who "are resistant to constitutionally ending Democrats' filibusters."
No reason why they can't hear from those of us who want them to steadfastly maintain that resistance:

I would imagine that Reid is listed purely for harassment purposes. As far as I know, the Republican Senators listed have publicly expressed doubts about the Frist nuclear option. I'm not sure about the views of all the Democratic Senators (but see here for a dailykos report on the Democratic position); however, I do know that Landrieu is a DINO--of all the Dems who might cave on this issue, she's where the smart money is.
So, pick up the phone and call these Senators. Tell them you do NOT support the nuclear option, and you are appalled at the growing influence of the religious right in the halls of the United States Senate. Don't let the fundies be the ones making all the phone calls.
