On 12/23/2009, in the midst of taking my wife and children from Pflugerville over the hills and through the woods to Grandmother's house in Birmingham, AL we stopped in Tyler at a Subway to eat a late lunch (while tornado warnings were being broadcast). I had the impending Senate Obamacare vote on my mind being quite upset with what the Obamabots were doing up there in Harry Reid's twisted chamber. So I faxed Ben Nelson a simple message that I later revised a bit and faxed to the following (including Senator Nelson) the next day (Christmas Eve):
Sen. Michael F Bennet, Colorado DC Fax Number: 202-228-5036
Sen. Ben Nelson, Nebraska, DC Fax Number: 202-228-0012
Sen. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana, DC Fax Number: 202-224-9735
Sen. Mark Pryor, Arkansas, DC Fax Number: 202-228-0908
Sen. Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas, DC Fax Number: 202-228-1371
Sen. Robert Byrd, West Virginia, DC Fax Number: 202-228-0002
Sen. Jim Webb, Virginia, DC Fax Number: 202-228-6363
Sen. Mark Warner, Virginia, DC Fax Number: 202-224-6295
Sen. Jon Tester, Montana, DC Fax Number: 202-224-8594
Sen. Joe Lieberman, Connecticut, DC Fax Number: 202-224-9750
Sen. Mark Begich, Alaska, DC Fax Number: 202-224-2354
Sen. Evan Bayh, Indiana, DC Fax Number: 202-228-1377
I named the MS Word doc file that I sent the efax from, Hail Mary.doc. Here is my Hail Mary message to Sen. Nelson:
The Honorable Senator Ben Nelson
720 Hart Senate Office Building
United States Senate
DC 20510
Dear Senator Nelson,
PLEASE, FOR YOUR OWN
POLITCAL SAKE, FOR THE SAKE OF THE NATION AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE
UNBORN,
VOTE AGAINST
THE HEALTHCARE BILL THIS WEEK.
IT WILL ONLY TAKE AWAY OUR
FREEDOM AND WILL DISTROY THE GOOD HEALTH CARE MOST AMERICANS CURRENTLY HAVE
ACCESS TO.
AMERICANS WILL
NOT FORGET WHEN THEY VOTE IN THE NOV 2010 GENERAL ELECTION. REPUBLICANS WILL
TAKE OVER THE U.S. SENATE AND HOUSE AS A RESULT!
A Concerned American Citizen,
Timothy E. Bradberry
P.S. Though I am sending this FAX independently of any other citizen, my views reflect those of most Americans according to scientific polling results (Rasmussen, etc.).
Well, Sen. Nelson didn't heed the warning and now he is paying the political price.

The Nebraska senator's health-care vote has killed him politically.
And here are a few more stories illustrative of the Senator's apparent political demise:
