Oregonians, Call Grodon Smith re torture bill!
When I called Wyden's office the phone lines were flooded and I had to wait on hold--which I did. When I called Smith's office I got right through. Smith's office has said the usual rethug blah-blah "Senator Smith is going to vote in favor of the "terrorist" blah-blah... I then politely told them that he had sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution, and to vote in favor of this bill would be to hand the "terrorists" a victory that they could never accomplish on their own.


Senator Gordon Smith (R,OR)
404 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510
(202) 224-3753

1. he crossed over on the Spectre amendment
So if you're calling, be sure to thank him for that.

5. When I called, she told me he was planning to vote FOR it
But tried to appease me by saying he voted against the Specter Amendment.
