FISA Whip Count Update (Keep Calling!)

Yesterday the Dodd campaign launched a Citizen Generated Whip Count operation on the Senate Judiciary Committee's position on retroactive immunity. So far we've had over 900 calls logged through the tool -- and been able to see where five of the Committee's nineteen members stand. Most offices don't have a public position on retroactive immunity yet and our past experience from whipping on the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act tells us that the Republican offices who are likely to disagree with callers from the netroots usually punt making a statement until it's time to vote.
We need you to keep calling the Senate Judiciary Committee through our Citizen Generated Whip Count tool -- and report the results so we can identify who needs to hear from their constituents so they vote the right way.
