So, it turns out that Congress does not allow mass emailing1. So, the good folks at the ONE campaign printed out all the letters and hand delivered them to the Senators. There were 57,345 letters in all. The waste of paper kind of makes me cringe, but it's Capitol Hill. Bureaucracy and waste is what a lot of people have come to expect.

Some good news is that Sen. Dole has signed on to the Feinstein-Hagel Dear Colleague letter. Thus far, 28 Senators have signed on. The ONE campaign is trying to get 60 to sign on by Friday.

If you haven't contacted your Senators yet, there's still time. Go here to find out what you need to do.

1. I don't really know what that means. That's just what the ONE blog said.
