Guess who else is back in town that will vote on Lieberman?

I was glad to see him back today and the video of him coming into the Senate building
but I forgot if he hadn't come back, he wouldn't have been able to
vote on Lieberman's status tomorrow.

We know how he'll vote!

2. Please call your Senator ASAP!

It's coming down to the line. The decision on whether or not Joe Lieberman will retain his committee chairmanship will be made this week by the 19 members of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee - one of whom is Senator Robert Byrd.

This is our chance to take the gavel out of the hands of a man who hasn't used his power of subpoena once to investigate Bush and his cronies' abuses of power, actively campaigned for McCain, and - if left has Homeland Security Committee Chair - would have subpoena power over Barack Obama.

Please call right now and ask that he be removed from this dangerous position before the next congress.

Robert Byrd - (D - WV)

We've had more than 30,000 signatures on our petition to the committee asking them to take away Lieberman's gavel. But with the decision coming this week, phone calls directly to committee members is our only way to sway the vote. Please take action right now, and ensure that someone with sound judgment is chair of the Homeland Security Committee in the 111th Congress.

Thank you,

Jane Hamsher, Firedoglake Action

I just called Robert Byrd
