3. Bayh, Bachus, Lieberman, are all read to sign...

6. I got an e-mail to call my Senators (Murray and Cantwell) which I will do tomorrow.
Already e-mailed them, but this warrants extra attention.

I'm guessing Sanders will be adding his name as well, hopefully many more.

9. Really if 30 sign the letter it may force Harry to do through reconciliation.
But sadly I think even if he had 52 signers he wouldn't.
