Altogether, 15 of those who originally signed the letter voted with their party today, plus Lincoln Davis, who voted present. They picked up Lampson, who voted against the bill. But in all, that’s a pretty profound turn.
Notably, Barrow, Boswell, Ellsworth, and Space were targeted by Blue America. I guess that leaves just Carney and Shuler as candidates to have an ad run against them for opposing civil liberties.
If any of these guys who changed their vote are your Representative, please call them and thank them for supporting their party on this important vote.
Update: Stole the list with phone numbers from McJoan. Also, as McJoan suggests, it’s also probably a good idea to thank the Freshmen for refusing to be cowed by the Republican fearmongering.
