6. Thank you Wordie

I'll put it to good use. :)

[debbierlus]

7. I did that the other day! It was so good to hear the fax buzzing

I will do it again, tomorrow.

And, again on Friday!

[Wordie]

11. Faxes are fast and easy, imho.

You can format your letter for greater emphasis. Also, you aren't relying on someone else to relay the message, which I like, too.

5. K+R ... + NGU!

8. When I tried to call Feinstein

the operator directed me to her voicemail, but her voice (on a recording) just told me to call during business hours.

[Wordie]

10. Other ways to contact Feinstein:

Direct link to the Senator's email contact page: http://feinstein.senate.gov/email.html
FAX: [phone]

[Wordie]

9. Here are some Senators to call:

These aren't posted in any order of priority. Use your own judgement about who to contact first:

These are the Republicans who have not yet declared how they will vote:

Susan Collins (ME) (A moderate Republican Gang of 14 member)
Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) (A moderate Republican Gang of 14 member)
Olympia Snowe (R-ME) (A moderate Republican Gang of 14 member)
Smith
Stevens
Vitter
Voinovich

These Senate Dems are moderates, and are members of the crucial Gang of 14. They need to be encouraged to vote no and to resist efforts by Frist to invoke the nuclear option.

Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) (He hasn't said how he'll vote yet.)
Ben Nelson (D-NE) (He plans to vote for Alito. He needs to hear your opposition)
Mark Pryor (D-AR)
Ken Salazar (D-CO) (He has said he would vote "No" on Alito, but said today that he doesn't plan to support a filibuster. Call and tell him why he's wrong on that.)

These Republican Senators, although they have decided to vote "yes" on Alito, should be called with your opposition to him anyway, as they are members of the crucial Gang of 14. They need to be convinced NOT to support the "nuclear option":

Mike DeWine (R-OH)
Lindsey Graham (R-SC) I tried to contact him recently, there was no option to leave him a message.
Either try in the morning, or try a FAX or email
John McCain (R-AZ)
John Warner (R-VA)

And here are undeclared Democrats:

Bayh
Bingaman
Robert Byrd (D-WV)
Cantwell
Carper
Conrad
DAyton
Dorgan
Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Johnson
Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
lautenberg
Levin
Lieb
Lincoln
Menendez
Pryor
Rockefeller
Sarbanes

You might also contact the Senate's lone Independent:
Sen. Jim Jeffords

The Democratic Senators who have said they will vote against Alito should be contacted too, to tell them to support the filibuster:

Baucus
Biden
Boxer
Clinton
Dodd
Durbin
Feingold
Feinstein
Harkin
Kennedy
Kerry
Kohl
Leahy
Mikulski
Murray
Bill Nelson (FL)
Obama
Reed
Reid (Democratic Senate Minority Leader - his mailbox was also full when I tried a while ago, but again, you could try a FAX or contacting him by email.
Salazar
Schumer
Stabenow
Wyden
