Stand with Dr Dean has tabulated responses (4.00 / 3)

I think this targeted e-mail with survey is an excellent idea. I would think we can build on or make use of Dr Dean's "Where Congress Stands" tool.

Calls were made by Democracy for America and MoveOn.org to determine the stand of Senators and Representatives and the responses are in this searchable database. It's organzed by party.

You can set the filter to see the names of all 35 senators who support a public option. The 7 NO votes are Ben Nelson, Coburn, DeMint, Grassley, Kyl, McCain, and Shelby. The 57 senators who DON'T KNOW are 34 Republicans and 22 Democrats. This category includes Baucus and Bayh, so I think it would be worthwhile for ALL of us e-mail these two, and even the other 20 Democrats not on record. The chart inclues the 60th senator as a DON'T KNOW.

Good idea (4.00 / 1)

We can use these results, and further narrow our targeting.
