The article notes that there are 8 Democratic Senators who voted for cloture of debate with the intention of voting against the Lieberman Warner cap and trade tax.
The Senators were Debbie Stabenow (MI), Jay Rockefeller (WV), Carl Levin (MI), Blanche Lincoln (AR), Mark Pryor (AR), Jim Webb (VA), Evan Bayh (IN), Claire McCaskill (MO), Sherrod Brown (OH) and Ben Nelson (NE).

A quick "thank you" note to these clear thinking Democratic Senators, who bucked the machine, would be helpful for the cause, and might stiffen their resolve against the next climate bill which comes their way.

They probably don't get many pats on the back for a job well done in their line of work. The change of tone from their usual mail might make an impression.
