[spartan61]

[Sarah Ibarruri]

[Sydnie]

2. Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins. n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. Thanks! I'm going to write them and I'm K&Ring this post nt

[The Hope Mobile]

4. Yeah, I faxed them earlier this week to do the same thing

(after Reid did the trial run). I hope we see more of this from them and they tell two friends . . . and so on and so on . . .
I'm definitely going to thank them again!!!

[MarianJack]

5. Speaking as a Mainer...

...I'm proud of my 2 senators!

I don't say that very often. In fact, REAELY!

PEACE!

6. Excellent, excellent idea. You know they are probably receiving alot of crap from their party and

could use a little positive reinforcement.

I will do the same.

[NeedleCast]

7. Good Idea

Hopefully it will encourage them to continue to support Obama.

8. OK, I sent them all e-mails -

and have made it easy for all of you to do the same if you desire. Let's give these three the mojo they deserve for putting their Country first!

9. Done. Thank you.

[Joe the Liberal]

10. Wait..........

didn't it take nearly 48% of the stimulus to be tax cuts just to get those three on board to vote for it?

[Bonn1997]

11. No. According to CNN,

38% of the finalized bill is tax cuts--2% BELOW President Obama's initial proposal that 40% be tax cuts.

12. And that's due to the less of a tax break for muddle class. only

$400.00/ $800.00 per couple rather than the $500.00/ $1000.00 couple tax break.. Now, is that a direct check coming back?

13. Spector is the guy to thank for the spending on medical research

[Danascot]

14. Daniel Schorr on NPR this AM

said the 3 Senate Repugs ransomed the stimulus bill for $100 billion.
