Hey David, thanks for keeping us reminded of the Holder confirmation as I would have paid no attention to it otherwise. I have e-mailed the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Leahy, Ranking member Arlen Specter and all other Republican members of the committee asking them to not support Holder as the nominee for AG. I will also e-mail my state senators here in Washington state. I know it probably won't do any good, we won't know unless we try.
Anyone else who wants to do the same can go to the following page to link to the websites for all the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee - http://judiciary.senate.gov/about/members.cfm
It's time our voices be heard. No more sitting on the sidelines. Coach is calling your name. Are you ready to play?
