Being from MA can be sort of a let down during big, national progressive battles. Whenever I see the "please contact these legislators" lists, I tend to scan through, just to catch a surprising name from some OTHER state. Well, imagine my shame when such a list appeared on DKos today : Your phone calls are ESPECIALLY important if you are represented by one of these potential holdouts: Harry...
