1. May I suggest sending this form letter to those who voted against.
Senator X-Person,

I find your choice to side with the corporation over the interest of the people to be thoroughly abhorrent. This choice to side with business over the people who placed you in office is unacceptable. As a voter who has personally decided that this action is completely unacceptable for a Senator of the United States of America. I hope and pray that you remember that this is a country of, by and for the people. This country is being threatened by your choice to support the deceptively named "Class Action Fairness Act of 2005" has left me with the belief that you need to be replaced.

As a voter who strongly believes in these, the United States of America, I shall vote with the two strongest tools I have, my vote and my wallet.

For your decision to vote against the American People I am donating the sum of $X dollars to whomever I deem to be worthy of replacing you to serve the people. I am encouraging every person I know who agrees with me that this poorly written "Class Action Fairness Act of 2005" to do the same. Every time you vote against the people I will vote again with my wallet to a fund to remove you from office.

Should you begin to vote consistently for the people, the direction of these legal political contributions will change.

In Disgust,

X

Pass it on and send it in, alter it as you will.

3. Dodd + Lieberman = Sad Connecticutter
Only the second time I've sent a letter to Mr. Dodd. But I guess it will always be harder to find good populists in Connecticut. Yeah it doesn't matter that they are targeting the means for the public to fight back against corporate crimes we can just sell it as tort reform.
