2. Arlen Specter of PA is a pro-choice moderate. |

4. Sue Collins and Olympia Snowe. |
|
I'm writing them today to remind them that it's time to do the right thing and move across the aisle. If they don't, they will lose their re-election bids.

...and I think the other female senator from Maine is too...anyone?
Also, we need to start writing these Jim Jeffords type repub senators, AND represenatives, and ask them POLITELY to DEFECT to INDEPENDENT! The balance of power as we all know CAN NOT be in just ONE PARTY.
And while we're at it, we NEED to write EVERY person in congress, EVERY ONE OF THEM, and DEMAND a PAPER TRAIL to BBVoting AND DEMAND that an independent group of computer experts analize the programing on these damn machines.

And Specter on some issues. Maybe one or two others.

7. If you expand that to include those who sometimes will buck their Party |

More names can be added. Who are the Non Kool Aid Republican Senators? Ones who on occasion will buck Bush on an important issue? That is not always the same thing as being "moderate".

Don't know about the others.
