There are rumors that there are many more. Stay tuned.

- These are the Democratic Senators Senator Ted Kennedy said (via http://www.dailykos.com/) needed to be contacted:
Pryor, Lincoln, Cantwell, Murray, Baucus, Harkin, Levin, Bayh, Lautenberg, Menendex, Lieberman.

- Also he asked to keep the pressure on Republican senators: Snowe, Collins, Chafee and Stevens.
