Override Of An Obama's Keystone Veto Possible If You Pressure These Democrat Senators

. . . Be heard!
by Herman Cain: Conventional wisdom is that the new Congress won't be able to pass any of its priorities into law because Barack Obama is still president and he will veto anything the Republicans pass. And yes, he probably will. But let's not forget that the Constitution provides for a congressional override of presidential vetos. This is not easy to do. It requires a two-thirds vote of each chamber.

But it might be possible in the case of Obama's promised veto of a bill approving the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Republicans have 247 votes in the House, which means 43 Democrats would have to vote to override a veto. That would only happen if these Democrats felts a massive wave of public pressure for the federal government to get out of the way and get the pipeline built.

The Senate is even more interesting. There, the Keystone bill already has 60 co-sponsors, including all 54 Republicans and six Democrats. The Democrat co-sponsors are Joe Manchin (West Virginia), Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota), Claire McClaskill (Missouri), Mark Warner (Virginia), Jon Tester (Montana) and Joe Donnelly (Indiana). Three other Democrats have indicated they will vote for the bill. They are Bob Casey Jr. (Pennsylvania), Tom Carper (Delaware) and Michael Bennet (Colorado).

That means only four more Democrats have to get on board to get a veto override in the Senate. Let's try to make that happen. Here is the contact information of the other 37 Democrat senators. Call. E-mail. Do it again. Flood their switchboards. Don't spare anyone (especially Harry Reid). Be relentless. Let's get this done:
