A Moveon.org alert/verbatim: During the next few weeks, the integrity of our democracy might well lie in the hands of Mississippi voters. The radical Republican bid to seize absolute power to appoint extreme judges (using a parliamentary maneuver known as the “nuclear option”) is nearing a final showdown in the Senate. Democrats are standing united, but to win we must secure at least 6 votes from moderate Republicans. In the end, it will all probably come down to one final swing vote—and that vote may well come from Senator Thad Cochran.
Senator Cochran is under intense pressure from the Republican leadership, and needs to hear from you today. We’ve set a national one-day goal of 25,000 calls, but participation in Mississippi is extremely important. If you call today, your voice will combine with thousands of others to have a huge impact. Please call right now:
Senator Thad Cochran
DC Phone: 202-224-5054
