Okay, will email my senators and rep. right away. I'm in Wisconsin and I doubt that Kohl or Feingold are opposed to her. Rep. is also a dem (and an Afraican-American female) so I'm hopefully preaching to the choir! Alas, I should have known. Okay, will email my senators and rep. right away.

So much for technology! Don't know whether to contact reps or not! What a debacle. I did find one article that quoted Orrin Hatch as totally supporting her. This makes me suspicious because he is such a huckster for the supplement industry in Utah (huge!), so why would he support a candidate who is looking out for the people's best interests?
