Action Alert: Please call Sens Dorgan and Conrad and express support for the filibuster.
Kent Conrad - (202) 224-2043
Byron Dorgan - 202-224-2551



They are probably going to adjourn the senate deadlock for the evening, but call and express support to continue the filibuster for the AG relief amendment in the morning.


Make those heartless republicans give our farmers at least a vote for relief from the drought of 06.

1. Senator Conrad just made the same announcement from the Senate floor .
for the second time. Repugs want to adjourn for the day. They have told him they will try to get a consensus to bring the farm drought aid bill up tomorrow, but he sounded doubtful to me. Just remember they promised him the same yesterday and then failed to do so.

The Repugs have proved again and again their word is not good.

Make the calls KyndCulture has requested.




Farmers have suffered a terrible drought.
Farmers feed America.
Farmers need our government to help them survive.

We are the government.
We want the farmers to receive aid.

2. Just called Conrad
And sounds like he could use the "atta-boy". It's truly tough doing this kind of thing.

The staffer also suggested calls to my own State's Senators, and whose are my next calls.
