1. Call your Senator.
2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator."
3. Call other Senator, repeat

June 1 is the 75th anniversary of Margaret Chase Smith's historic "Declaration of Conscience" speech and the 15th anniversary of the day Collins honored her for it. It's a great time to remind her how a real senator acts.
