9. Pat Toomey, R, Pennsylvania.

10. John Boozman, R, Arkansas.

These Senators should definitely hear from YOU.

The phone line for all Senators is: (202) 224-3121.

Email and website contacts can be found here.

(Some Senators have e-mail addresses while others post comment forms on their web sites.)

But now let me disagree a bit with this analysis of the estimable Volz. The greater likelihood is that the Democratic Senators who all voted previously for Obama's fake reform, the USA Freedom Act, will back it or a similar measure again, as they did last week. Then they will need only a handful of Republican votes to pass such a monster.

So ALL Senators should be contacted and urged to vote in the proper way, perhaps in the end the Democrats most of all. Your Senator pays most attention to his or her own constitutents.

You can be sure that there is plenty of skullduggery afoot at this very moment to round up the necessary votes. And it would not be surprising if some of the dirty data that NSA has swept up under Section 215 were being used to blackmail recalcitrant solons.

Finally, we should not underestimate what a victory like this could mean. It can easily set the stage for other victories by providing some confidence that the police state elite can be defeated. And that in turn may carry over into other crucial and related areas like the wars, which have been draining our treasure and consuming innocent lives around the world.

But it all depends on US, YOU and ME. Let's get to the phones and emails pronto. Let the Senators know what we want them to do -- and that there will political punishment for those who flout the popular will. Again the Senate phone number is: (202) 224-3121.

Email and website contacts can be found here.

But let us act now. Victory is at hand. Only hours are left. No time to waste. NOW.
