Voinovich being targeted by anti-Un/pro-Bolton group
the "Move America Forward" freeper-type group is targetting Voinovich in opposition to his words today in the Foreign Relations Committee that allowed a compromise to be reached on delaying the Bolton nomination vote by the commmittee. This group is flooding Voinovich's phone lines with complaining calls opposing his "falling out of line" and raising funds to run ads against him.

We need to lavish Voinovich with praise and thanks over the next few days and weeks up until the next Foreign Relations Committee meeting and continue to press him to oppose the Bolton nomination.

You can find Senator Voinovich's phone number and an email contact form here:

If you are curious as to the group that is targetting Voinovich and have a strong stomach,

5. Done...
hope it will help him "stick", and that he will be not just in favor of a delay, but actually opposed to the nomination. Fingers crossed.

6. Done...thanks for the link.
Don't know if a letter from CA will help....but heck, we have to try. Randi Rhodes also suggested we contact Hagel and Chafee during this time as well and urge them to vote no. I'd already written to them but it sure couldn't hurt to write again.

Today was excellent...I watched on CSPAN and actually felt excited again. Biden, Boxer and Kerry were superb.

8. Gosh... does this come as any surprise??
Repugs targeting one their own for not walking lock step?? Hasn't that been par for the course this month??

I wonder how many repugs are targeting Luger and Chaffee now... these 2 are up for re-election in '06.

9. Done....Here is what a said....
Thank you for standing up and doing what is right, even when it means disagreeing with your party lines. John Bolton is the wrong candidate and his attitude and behavior does not relect that of a diplomat. But, what am I saying, you already knew that.

Thank you for your patriotic duty...
