Contact your Democratic Senator(s) to oppose Harry Reid as Minority Leader

[Sandpiper]

Now that we have been relegated to opposition party status, we need someone who will stand up and fight for our party and the issues we holds dear. Harry Reid is not the guy who will do that.

Harry Reid is an anti-choice, anti-gay rights, Red State DINO. The exact opposite of what we need at a time like this.

Here's his voting record:

If you live in a state with Democratic Senators, contact them with all possible haste and ask them to support Dick Durbin as the new minority leader.

1. I'm contacting Boxer.

She's always represented my interests well. But Sen. Feinstein has already indicated that she is going to support Harry Reid. Apparently she has forgotten who elected her.

2. I'll be contacting Boxer as well

And probably Feinstein too, just out of principle.

3. Durbin?

Where did that name come from?

5. Illinois

He'd be the number 2 Senate Dem if Reid was minority leader.

8. I know where he is from...

Just the first time, I've heard his name for the job. Dodd was the other contender.

4. Why would the Democratic Party start listening to voters now?

They seem ti have mostly ignored us since Bush first got into office.

I will make the phone calls! :)

6. REID IS NOT A DINO

Ah well....let's just waste our time trying to stop the inevitable (and not really that bad) instead of stopping Bush....

9. We lost our Democratic Senator and VP in one night.

Libby Dole and Richard Burr should really help NC with progressive leadership.
