anastasiavAs I'm hoping you're aware by now, on Monday night, the US Senate passed a resolution apologizing for its failure to enact federal anti-lynching legislation. First link is Washington Post, second is NY Times, may require registration. Its a pretty small gesture, but a gesture none-the-less.
Daily Kos provides some interesting insight about the reasons why the bill was put up to voice vote (rather than a roll call vote), and why it was put up to vote on a Monday evening, in a nearly empty Senate chamber. He also provides a list (scroll down) of Senators still have not signed on as co-sponsors of this bill.
I note for our friends in New Hampshire that your Senators -- Judd Gregg and John Sununu -- are on this list of shame. I urge you to call their offices to urge them to sign on as co-sponsors of the bill. I'd also be interested to hear what, if any, their reasons for not signing on might be.
Judd Gregg (R-NH) - (202) 224-3324
John Sununu (R-NH) - (202) 224-2841
