The latest list of Senators who refused to sign the anti-lynching resolution



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

This is the latest list I have - please feed me updates. Only one Democrat, all the rest are Republicans. What was Howard Dean saying about the GOP being the party of white guys? That would be 27% of the Republican Senators who refused to oppose lynching, vs. 2% of the Democrats. Enough said.

One final point. From what I recall during my stint in the Senate, you can add yourself as a cosponsor retroactively even after the resolution has passed.
