Thank you for doing the right thing on the ANWR vote. I look forward to joining you in continued opposition to opening up ANWR for oil drilling.

In regards to the filibuster, don’t you think it a rather odd double-standard to accuse the Democrats of being uncooperative with regards to judicial nominees when the Republicans used the very same tactics against the Clinton administration? I believe it will damage the credibility of the Congress if you rubber stamp Bush nominees. I also believe that any weakening of the filibuster is a direct attack on the history and integrity of the Congress. I’d also remind you that this sword cuts both ways.

Please do not support weakening of the filibuster. It is un-American.
