What did you do to save the Republic today?
I created a simple fax:
"Don't let our three branches become one branch and two fig leaves: Filibuster!"
I tried faxing it to every Dem in the Senate. Got through to about 25 of 'em.
Futile? Doomed to failure? Pissing up a rope?
Sure, probably. If you have a better idea, I'm all ears.

I just wish there was some way that we could stage a countrywide act of civil disobedience that would gain such MSM attention that the senators couldn't miss it. We'd have to stage sit-ins in court houses or something, but big enough that national TV would cover it. Have spokespersons and signs declaring that we won't leave until the filibuster succeeds. Just a nostalgic child of the 60's, I guess.
p.s. I've been calling, emailing and faxing for the past couple of days, too, and plan another salvo tomorrow.
