Anyone have list of 15 senators who DIDN'T sign letter of support for Israel after flotilla attack?

[blm]

I haven't been able to find a list and am hoping someone here knows.

[hlthe2b]

1. I'd like to know, too...

[peacetalksforall]

5. Link to letter with supporters' signatures

87 senators defend Israel in flotilla incident
June 23, 2010


The Hill has a pdf of this letter with signatures.

[blm]

7. So that leaves WHO refused to sign the letter?

.

[hlthe2b]

8. I can't even read half the signatures... but...

beyond the expected usual players, I noted both MN Senators (including Al Franken) signed, but I'm certain I did not see John Kerry... however, again, I couldn't read some of the signatures.

9. 87 senators in lockstep on a controversial issue surely is not much different than lemming rushing

out to sea. :P

[WillyT]

11. Which Begs The Question...

Who are the smart lemmings?

I mean... if all lemmings ran off the cliff into the sea, that would be the end of them. They'd become extinct.

There must be a small number of lemmings that hang back, take the situation into consideration, and decide following the pack ain't such a good idea.

We need to find the smarter lemmings.

:evilgrin:

[indepat]

24. And much smarter senators, but thankfully three hung back avert extinction at this point

:thumbsup:

[blm]

12. oops...thought it was 85...so, it's only 13 senators who wouldn't sign.

.

[seafan]

18. To the best of my deciphering, here are the 13 senators not signing the letter.

1. Chris Dodd (D)
2. Dan Akaka (D)
3. Tom Harkin (D)
4. John Kerry (D)
5. Jeff Bingaman (D)

9. Jim Webb (D)


10. Jim Bunning (R)
11. Judd Gregg (R)
12. Richard Burr (R)

13. Bernie Sanders (I)

[oberliner]

19. Burr signed it, Byrd didn't nt

[seafan]

20. Thanks for that correction. Burr signed on. Byrd did not.

The comparative signature at Burr's web site confirms it on this letter.

[blm]

21. yep...big difference

,

[blm]

22. thanks....funny this isn't making news, is it?

.

[seafan]

Also, Sanders is not a Democrat.
