Putting Numbers on the Big Board

I'm with Atrios and FiredogLake. Let's use our commute time to call the Senators on the Judiciary Commitee. Call the switchboard tollfree at 888-355-3588 and ask for the following Senator's Offices:

Register your strong, emphatic, and polite opposition to the White House-Specter Bill on NSA spying. I'm telling them all that the Supreme Court has just reaffirmed Youngstown with Hamdan, and yet the White House Bill pretends that the President has the Constitutional authority to break a duly enacted law regulating his power. The Bill would represent a danger to our Republic, and the Senator needs to oppose it.

For those of you who haven't called before, no debate ensues here. You don't have to convince them of anything, since they're just phone-bots designed to transcribe and "pass on." Every one of those calls took me no more than 45 seconds, switchboarding included. Just do it. What else are you going to do while sitting in the car? Listen to another iteration of the same crap radio songs?
