We, the voters who elect Democrats in every election, were utterly and completely betrayed today by 18 Democratic Senators that we elected, all of whom can be reached at 888-355-3588 or 888-818-6641:

Daniel Akaka (HI) 2007**
Max Baucus (MT) 2009
Jeff Bingaman (NM) 2007
Robert Byrd (WV) 2007
Maria Cantwell (WA) 2007
Tom Carper (DE) 2007
Byron Dorgan (ND) 2011
Daniel Inouye (HI) 2011
Tim Johnson (SD) 2009
Herb Kohl (WI) 2007
Mary Landrieu (LA) 2009
Joe Lieberman (CT) 2007
Blanche Lincoln (AR) 2011
Bill Nelson (FL) 2007
Ben Nelson (NE) 2007
Mark Pryor (AR) 2009
Jay Rockefeller (WV) 2009
Ken Salazar (CO) 2011

There was no reason for this betrayal. We only needed 40 of the 45 Democrats to sustain a filibuster. We could have won even if 5 Democrats who were flat-out stupid enough to believe Alito's lies (like Robert Byrd and Kent Conrad) had voted against the filibuster.

[NOTE: ** Up for re-election, or first opportunity to defeat them!]
