2. Sorry, I should have qualified that as the only Democratic Senator that is...

Now I'm seeing that he's the only one that's "leaning against the deal". There are two against it (Schumer, who I shouldn't have forgotten, and Menendez) Still one of only three Democratic Senators is not good in my book. Schumer is already on my bad list for having his name associated with every "deal" with Repubilcans to raise the H-1B quota in the bills that have done so.

Yes, there are congress critters that will perhaps vote the wrong way too that also need to have a talking to as well.

If Wyden's "leaning" against it, then that implies that we could call his office now and perhaps push him to support it, and note that we're already not happy with his work on the TPA/TPP bill, and that a no vote here would solidify us supporting someone like DeFazio in a primary battle.
