Can someone please provide me with a list of all the people who stood up?

I don't care who voted, I want to know who stood up like we asked them to? I want to thank them for standing up.

In particular, I would like to thank the other Senators who stood with Sen. Boxer. What exactly did we ask our Senators to do? Did we not in fact ask for 1 Senator to stand up? Did we get one to stand up? No, we got more to stand. We only needed 1, we only asked for 1, we got 1. I think we need to recognize and respect the others who stood just as much as the 1 who signed.

"Democratic leaders distanced themselves from the effort, which many in the party worried would make them look like sore losers. Bush won Ohio by 118,000 votes and carried the national contest by 3.3 million votes, and Kerry himself meeting with troops in the Middle East did not support the challenge."

I will not allow the MSM to frame my opinion. They stood up in the face of possible public humiliation. They raised an ojection that was certain to be over-ruled and they gave us what we wanted. All I wanted was for 1 Senator to stand up. I got more. Who are they? I want to make sure I can ask them to stand again, even if it only symbolizes that they hear me.

11. The Democracy 32 -- can you also provide a pictorial collage
for those Senators and Representatives who spoke in favor of free and fair elections, even if they did not vote that way. I would also like to see Barbara Boxer's face in a collage with Obama, Reid, Durbin, Clinton, et al., as well as any House members who spoke in favor of reform but didn't vote that way.

I think the fact that they rose and spoke on behalf of the issue deserves some recognition also. (I know, I know -- I wish they had voted with Boxer and Tubbs-Jones also. But I also respect them much more than those who abstained from speaking at all, abstained from voting or (worst of all) voted against without speaking for the issue. There is one Democratic Representative from Tennessee who just lost my support because of that last act. There are several who did not vote at all and I'll cut them some slack until I hear from them. But Rep. Gordon screwed the pooch in the Orange State, as far as I'm concerned.
So more pictures of sympathizers please. I've already downloaded and printed the "Democracy 32" and they will be used as door prizes for a Gathering To Save Our Democracy pot-luck/hearing viewing marathon party this Sunday in Franklin, TN. Details to follow.

3. How about the people in the House? They deserve many thanks
as well. I sent a thank you to Boxer and Reid. There are 31 (I think) in the senate. Anyone create a thread with all those emails together (trying to be lazy here) so I can email them all?

5. I would like to thank them to. I think they went out on a limb to
speak up.

7. I thank not only the ones who voted to object...
But the one's who spoke (entering damning evidence and commentary to the Congreesional record), and the ones that stayed away on purpose (SAOP?).
