On Monday last Eric Holder was confirmed in the U.S. Senate by a roll call vote of 75 to 21 with 3 "not voting" (no, I don't know how that works). Since there are fewer than 75 Democrats in the Senate self-evidently more than a couple of Republicans plus the lone independent voted in favor of the confirmation. In fact no Democrats voted AGAINST Holder.
Here is a link to the results of the confirmation vote:

If you are represented by someone who voted to confirm arguably the most anti-RKBA AGUS in history I would respectfully suggest you write your Senator(s) to express your satisfaction/dissatisfaction with their vote. BTW, my two Senators, Cornyn and Hutchinson both voted against him. Cornyn was one of only two in the judiciary committee who voted against him there.
Remind these folks that people who take the time to write are also people who take time to vote in off-year elections. As they say in the Spainish-speaking community "su voto es su voz" - "your vote is your voice".
We need to hold these people accountable. We need to let them know where we stand. If it truely is the squeaky wheel that gets greased then we need to squeak loudly indeed.
