RED ALERT - SENATORS SNEAKING IN OIL DRILLING TO DEFENSE BILL

Republicans are sheer scum. They are attaching the Artic Drilling Provision in the defense bill. The dems only way to stop it is to filibuster it. They are tying up the defense money & Katrina relief.

WORSE - they are going to do a mini-nuclear option. Basically, they are going to nuke the rules for a filibuster rule on this one bill, so they only need 51 votes instead of 60 votes to override the filibuster. So, the dems won't be able to filibuster the bill if the Republicans submit this 'Point of Order'.

This is a sheer disaster. Please call your Senators. NOW. This is happening today. Please bump & recommend for front page coverage of this issue. This is our LAST, I repeat, LAST chance to STOP Artic Drilling.

Please take action, NOW!

Thanks all!

3. Ted Stevens is going nuts right now defending his good name

against those senators that are attacking him. It is hilarious, he can hardly talk without sounding like porky pig.
