Consider supporting a US Senate candidate this cycle.
Edited on Sat Jul-28-07 12:51 PM by MGKrebs
While we should never assume that we will win the White House, if we do, it would be extremely helpful for the new President to have a super majority in the Senate to override filibusters. (And if we don't win the White House, we could still override vetoes!)

Here are the races up for grabs this time:

* Appointed senators
o 2.1.1 John Barrasso (R) of Wyoming
* Retiring senators
o 2.2.1 Wayne Allard (R) of Colorado
* Possible retiring senators
o 2.3.1 Joe Biden (D) of Delaware
o 2.3.2 Thad Cochran (R) of Mississippi
o 2.3.3 Larry Craig (R) of Idaho
o 2.3.4 Chuck Hagel (R) of Nebraska
o 2.3.5 Tim Johnson (D) of South Dakota
o 2.3.6 John Warner (R) of Virginia
o 2.3.7 Ted Stevens (R) of Alaska
* Democratic incumbent races
o 2.4.1 Max Baucus of Montana
o 2.4.2 Dick Durbin of Illinois
o 2.4.3 Tom Harkin of Iowa
o 2.4.4 John Kerry of Massachusetts
o 2.4.5 Mary Landrieu of Louisiana
o 2.4.6 Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey
o 2.4.7 Carl Levin of Michigan
o 2.4.8 Mark Pryor of Arkansas
o 2.4.9 Jack Reed of Rhode Island
o 2.4.10 Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia
* Republican incumbent races
o 2.5.1 Lamar Alexander of Tennessee
o 2.5.2 Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
o 2.5.3 Norm Coleman of Minnesota
o 2.5.4 Susan Collins of Maine
o 2.5.5 John Cornyn of Texas
o 2.5.6 Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina
o 2.5.7 Pete Domenici of New Mexico
o 2.5.8 Michael Enzi of Wyoming
o 2.5.9 Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
o 2.5.10 Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma
o 2.5.11 Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
o 2.5.12 Pat Roberts of Kansas
o 2.5.13 Jeff Sessions of Alabama
o 2.5.14 Gordon Smith of Oregon
o 2.5.15 John Sununu of New Hampshire
