Feinstein tries to help engineers now in Senate
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/24/133311/243

SA 4075 is the amendment, please call your Senators to support this!

She is removing the automatic escalator of 20% increases on the notorious labor arbitrage vehicle, H-1B Visa.

2. I've given up on her
She is my Senator also, but she lost my vote when she voted for Hayden. I've called her office and told them so. I'll be voting for her opponent in the primary. If Feinstein wins the primary I will not vote in that race in the General election.

4. vote for
the volunteers and grassroots people who are busy trying to convince their representatives to behave sanely.

They literally went to Washington and are walking the walls trying to get a word in between the corporate lobbyist visits.

5. UPDATE
Feinstein refused to bring the amendment to the floor for a vote at the last minute.

What a fiddle playing us for fools.

Write her and please express your disappointment.
