Just fired this off to Byrd.
Sen. Byrd,

I used to have great respect for you. Even though I'm from Wisconsin, I answered your call several times to donate money to your campaign. I bought your latest book.

Well, that's it for me. You talk about the constitution all the time, but then you vote for cloture today, guaranteeing this nazi collaborator a lifetime seat on the SCOTUS.

I'll burn your book when I find the right opportunity. I'll never give you another red cent. You sold our once great nation down the river today, and I will never forget!

What a sad legacy you're leaving behind.

signed, my name

1. Spend the effort
Spend the effort that you spent on contacting all the Senators to vote against closure...thanking them for their spineless display of 'caring about the people'! That's what we do, barrage their E-mails, fax machines and answering machines. Let them know how we feel, and let them know what kind of support they will be getting in this election year. Bid them an un/pleasant farewell!!

2. I was debating whether to return his book.....
to his office. I would write some choice words in it so they won't be able to re-sell it.

I'm more than disapponted about him.

4. Hey, that's an even better idea!
Except, I don't want to spend the postal costs. I think I'll take pictures of the book burning and email them to the old Byrd.

6. That's a damn offensive comment you have there
What about all of the votes that Senator Byrd gives our party on a variety of issues?

Social security, education, medicare, the minimum wage et al?

That West Virginia Senate seat would go to a full-on Repuke if Senator Byrd retired, do you want that eh?

The only people that I've heard call Senator Byrd an old Klansman or have any reference to the KKK are...well, yes, you know who.
