I used to be categorically against making personal information available,
but dealing with a betrayal of the American People of THIS magnitude
has forced me to re-evaluate that position.

It isn't their personal accounts.

This is another way to contact them, just like FB or their senate websites.

I was SO expecting to see my senator on the list of those who voted against the bill (Mary Landrieu -D- Louisiana). She so consistently votes with the repukes that she might as well call herself an 'R'. I guess I should write an email thanking her. I send her complaint emails all the time, especially for her failure to support gay marriage.

Of course, 'Diaper' David Vitter (R-LA) voted against it. Sigh . . . my state sucks sometimes!

From those Red States?

Do you really think you can get a gun control candidate to win in the primary let alone in the general election?

Let me help you; say "Senate Leader Mitch McConnell" a few times, then tell me again how they should lose their seats?
