I was all set to work my way through news, press releases, blogs and so on in order to find where the crucial votes lay on the Alito/filibuster issue -- but Bob Fertik has already done the legwork.

Here's an even briefer version of Bob's post: call THESE senators (the post below contains instructions for doing so for free):

If your State Senator is not on that list, call them anyway -- calls from a constituent always carry more weight. If any of the above are your representatives, consider also calling their local offices (Bob's post has the contact details). It's also worth a call to those Dems who are going to support the filibuster, to thank them:
