I just heard my senator disappoint me greatly. By voting No on cloture for the Feingold/Reid amendment, Sen. Webb betrayed my trust in him and my faith that he would do the right thing. After hearing his no, I called his office and asked why he wasn't supporting the amendment. A staff member told me she didn't know if he was going to support it - he had been thinking and talking about it with staff up until the last minute. What does that tell me? That he wasn't getting the landslide of calls from constituents that he needed to get. That's my fault. I should have called. I'm ashamed.

This time, I waited until I heard the disappointment on the floor. I won't wait so long next time. All of you who read this, please do the same.
