So the Betsy DeVos vote could be imminent, and it looks like we have a chance to block her. Here are the critical Repubs to call to try to switch their votes to “nos.” Call if these are your Senators, maybe even call if they aren’t (but in the latter case don’t lie about it).
With the announcement that Senators Collins & Murkowski have flipped on DeVos, we're now only ONE VOTE short of thwarting her nomination.

What’s that thing about the True Patriot Test? I can’t find anything through google.
Buttercup:
Incidentally, how great was that? Those two are absolute gold together.
@Moggie – I miss Jon Stewart so much! They were a perfect combination.
@IP – It was from a first-person account of an interview that an American expat was subjected to at the embassy in Abu Dhabi when applying for passport renewal, but their FB page has since been deleted. I haven’t seen this confirmed anywhere else, so I think it was probably fake. Sorry! That’ll teach me to check sources properly, even when I’m groggy and half awake.
Bill Nemitz at the Portland Press-Herald has more useful tips for calling your congresscritter from former high-level staffers. Keep the pressure up, everyone!
OK. Here we goooooooooooooooooo.
“Religious Freedom”. Yeah, right. (or should I say, VERY Right.)
More like “Evangelical Theocracy under Christian Sharia”.
(and I’m not beyond pissed cause my thing is Atheist – unless they make a law you HAVE to go to church – but because it’s EVERYTHING! LGBT, Women, Blacks, whatever. Everything and everybody!
(official selfish snark: at least I can PRETEND to pray, what do other posters do?)
I tweeted at Toomey since his voicemails are full.
I tweeted at him on a few other issues too while I was at it.
