A while back I talked about letting your senators know that the way forward was compromise, not grandstanding. It's a bummer my senators are not on this list, but a good thing that the list exists in the first place. I don't live where I can vote for any of these people, but if I did they'd have earned my vote this week.

Let's hope its the beginning of a new trend toward compromise instead of a one time thing.
