> Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has submitted a slew of President Obama?s executive and judicial nominees for confirmation?a move that could be Senate Democrats last and most powerful act before Republicans take over the majority in January.

> Now, we just need Senate Democrats to stick around Washington so that Reid has the votes he needs to confirm, something that?s not guaranteed with Republicans likely to engage in procedural delays and the holidays just around the corner.

Subject: [Davis Democrats] Thank your Democratic U.S. Senators for staying
	in Capitol to confirm federal judicial & executive nominees
	of President Obama
Message-ID: <7415EC67-A75D-494D-B7D0-F0365875EB1E@dcn.org>

Telephone 1-202-224-3121, the U.S. Capitol switchboard, to connect you to the the U.S. Senate offices of Democratic Senators to thank them for staying at work, while they still have majority control of the Senate under Senator Harry Reid, before Sen. Mitch McConnell. 

 If they delay their holiday vacation, they can   vote to confirm the long-delayed nominees of President Barack Obama. For example, for U.S. Attorney General and for Director of the Social Security Administration.

Read today?s story, Wed., Dec.16,2014,  in NY Times, page A-18. Good news: Vivek H. Murthy has been confirmed as the new U.S. Attorney General. Like most medical doctors, he is in favor of regulating military-style weapons in the hands of civilians.
