Occupied Lott
Well, the press conference is over and Lott didn't resign. I urge all of you who live in states with Republican senators to write and urge them to oust Lott as Majority Leader.
See a sample letter by clicking More.
Dear Senator __________:
I am writing to urge you not to reappoint Trent Lott as Majority Leader. The events of the past week have made it clear that Senator Lott is the wrong choice to lead any mainstream political party in the United States Senate. His words do not represent the views of most Americans or most Republicans. As such, he should not be rewarded with such a prestigious position. The GOP must select someone else to represent them.
Thank you.

Couldn't democrat senators could join a coalition voting for an alternative.
I rememebr when the California State Assembly was in an uproar over party line crossing voters throwing a leadership election away from the favored son of the party in power, I think it involved Williy Brown.
Lott deserves to lose for more than just this 'little' gaffe. (a repeated gaffe). Mississippi ranks 6th this year and 3rd in 2001 in per capita pork. But look to them to regain their 'leadership' role if Lott regains the Majority Leader post.

No, the Majority and Minority Leaders are elected by their party conferences. It's up to the Republicans to oust him.
BTW, I edited your link to put it in HTML. You can use limited HTML in the comments. Things like a href and text formatting commands. It's just easier to be able to click on a link.
