Energizing the Senate cap-and-trade bill

By LISA LERER | 6/30/09 4:42 AM EDT

As the fight over climate and energy legislation moves to the Senate, the political climate is heating up for New Mexico Democratic Sen. Jeff Bingaman.

The serious and soft-spoken chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has already emerged as a key player in negotiations over how the Senate will handle its version of the controversial legislation.

The House narrowly passed its more than 1,200-page version of the bill last week, after last-minute White House wrangling locked in the support of rural and Rust Belt Democrats. Now the bill moves to the Senate, where the administration will face an even tougher fight persuading skeptical moderate Democrats to back it.

Below is a contact list for the Democrat Senators up for Re-Election in 2010. Some of them will be the easiest to turn against the the Cap and Trade Bill. I recommend sending emails to them all, but do that for the ones with * next to their names LAST. They are pretty secure old timers and may not pay much attention, but the lesser known Senators can be influenced with a mass influx of emails, letters and phone calls. Dodd is on the must contact list as he has had a lot of problems and is especially vulnerable to criticism from constituents. Even if we only turn half of the lesser knows it will be enough to stop the bill. This is our last and best chance to stop this economic travesty from taking place for now. It is preferable to call, write and email or any combination of them, but you MUST act!

Tip: When making up an address [any number] Main St is usually a good choice. If it makes a phone number a must, use theirs (usually located on the same contact page) but just alter the last 4 numbers a bit. Do your part and let 'em hear from you. Once they give us the grease job with this thing, it will be awfully tough to get rid of.
