Butterflies in my stomach - Arkansas Senators.

[DIKB]

I live in Arkansas and am doing my part, and both Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln have stepped forward to state that they will vote No on the Alito nomination. Kudos to them for that.

Yet Mr. Pryor has decidedly stated that he will NOT support a filibuster (ARRRRRRGHH!!!!!) and Lincoln is straddling the fence at the moment, her floor statement while somewhat strong, does not indicate her stance, and the people at her office don't know.

A No vote isn't enough for me, I'm 25, this appointment will affect me for the rest of my life.

The sports bar comparison on C-Span's WJ earlier this week was correct, I need a drink. :scared:

1. Remind Pryor's office that he spoke at the King memorial about fighting

for what's right. He promised to do that.

2. I keep trying to call

and either get no answer or a full answering machine. I'm glad you got through!

3. I just called Pryor's office again and told them they as a woman, I

would no longer feel comfortable supporting Sen. Pryor if he will not support the filibuster. Pryor is no 'prochoice' senator, but at least, he has allowed that there are certain circumstances where abortion must remain legal. Keep calling and get your friends and family to call as well. Here's his phone numbers:

I've been calling the Washington lines.

4. Dup. It said there was an error posting.......

[Punkingal]

6. Hey, I emailed both your Senators....

And I literally begged them to filibuster. I'm from next door in Tennessee, so it is useless to email my own.

7. I got through

The woman told me he will vote no on Alito an against the filibuster. I asked her what was the point in doing that - if you won't support a filibuster you might as well vote yes in the first place. She was polite, but really wanted me off the phone.

8. We need to 'bliz' him with comments about why he has to either

support the filibuster or abstain.

9. Keep up the calls and emails DU...

I've emailed both of them. WE need to flood their email and voicemail boxes!!

10. Office just said he WON'T support the filibuster! Call them now!

In my kindest voice, I said he should reconsider. Arrrrrgh...

Keep on his back, DUers.
