Can we start a pizza fund to send the filibusters some tasty finger food while they talk? Many people can talk and eat pizza at the same time. Go to any college town pizza place and see for yourself, if you don't believe me. Some of these young people can talk, eat pizza and drink beer simultaneously, which is surely a god-given talent.

All the more reason to be on the phone to each of your senators' offices every single day. The Rs are silent because they're afraid of sticking their heads up, and the only thing that will goose them out of the hole is constant, overwhelming pressure from their constituents. Call, fax, write a HANDWRITTEN letter or postcard. 12 letters a week is considered extraordinary in most political offices. Please, we need you.
