I have heard talk of Byrd filibuster too. Worth TRYING to get other Senators to sign on too.
Another thing worth doing: I live in Rep. Jim McDermott's (D, WA) district. He has acquired the sobriquet "Jihad Jim" just for visiting Baghdad and lately trolling around with Scott Ritter in tow. McD is doing EXACTLY what his constituents have voted for him to do in terms of upholding democracy and debate. Some of his fans are making a point of finding as many ways as possible to tell other people that, so if you see articles in the press about anything to do with this, send me the url's and ...
(McD's most serious recent electoral challenge was the Green Party which won 15% of the vote in the last election. All of that plus the ULWU and Seattle is probably not Bush's favorite part of the map right now.)
