Quick note from John

I think we have ourselves a ready-to-go campaign for Tuesday. Call the Senate and find out if your two Senators cosponsred "S.Res. 39, Official Title: A resolution apologizing to the victims of lynching and the descendants of those victims for the failure of the Senate to enact anti-lynching legislation."

Don't let them get away with telling you it passed the Senate tonight, we know that. We want to know if your two Senators were cosponsors or not of the resolution - yes or not. And if they weasel and can't give you an answer, tell them you're reporting back to the blogs, we're making a list, and we want an answer. I'm serious. We can report back as the day goes on.

Having said that, we know already that these 60 Senators cosponsored (i.e., said they'd support) the resolution (but there were 20 more who also cosponsored it, bringing the total up to 80, we just can't find an up to date list anywhere). So don't call the 60 Senators listed below, unless you want to call and thank them, that's of course quite welcome:
