All original co-sponsors of this legislation in the Senate included Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Edward J.

  1. IF you are from Arizona, West Virginia or Maine, it looks like your senators' votes might be crucial to Sessions' nomination:  "Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a potential swing vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee, will support Sessions, a spokesman said Friday. That's a key pickup, given Flake's moderate views on immigration and social issues, and his opposition to Donald Trump during the campaign. Then moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) said he would support Sessions as did moderate Republican Susan Collins of Maine, all but clinching his elevation."  http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/jeff-sessions-attorney-general-confirmation-231602   Find senators here:  https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/

  1. If you live in FLORIDA, ARIZONA, and KENTUCKY your calls concerning Tillerson are VERY important.  “Being tight with Putin is a red line for some high-profile Senate Republicans, including Marco Rubio (Fla.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Rand Paul (Ky.).They sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which will vote first on Tillerson. If just one or two vote against the nomination, that would swing the panel against the nod.”  Find senators here:  https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/

  1. EarthJustice, the premier nonprofit environmental law organization, is asking us to support the clean power plan and to not let Trump scrap environmental protections:  https://earthjustice.fightforclimate.org/clean-power-plan/

  1. If you have access to a fax machine, please consider faxing this doctored (by Sen. Schumer) letter (of Sen. McConnell) to Sen. Mitch McConnell at 202-224-2499.  http://docdro.id/D1TMZj9
