I'm horribly sorry for posting a short diary. I'm one who bitches about such things. But screw it right now.

I just called Bob Mendendez' office, and an assistant / aide told me the following:


"Senator Mendendez voted for it before and is leaning toward it again, but he's open to hearing suggestions about why this is might be a bad idea."

Look, I know that might be a stock answer.

But I'm telling you, if it turns out to be true, and we sat on our asses without pounding him, fuck all of us if this thing passes.

I told the guy point blank, "does the Senator want to run in future primaries having been the DECIDING vote on this thing?" I also said, "he can easily defend his decision as a choice to not change the constitution for a NON-problem. It's reckless to alter our founding document so irresponsibly -- this isn't about freeing slaves, or correcting equal protection issues in the south. It's a NON-problem."... I then left my address and number.

So I implore the grassroots to get on the phone with his office.

Here's the number:
