We MUST ramp up the calls to our Senators big time over the next 24 hours. I believe we have CLOSE to the 41 senators necessary to defeat cloture, causing Reid to pull the bill. WE CAN WIN!!! Please place telephone calls to your U.S. Senators today (phone and fax numbers available ontheir websites). Please call or fax as many U.S. Senators as you areable, in addition to your own. I will try to post their phone/fax numberson our WNAF website by later this morning.
