MundiMuster! DSCC Dems, You Work for Us, Now Do Your Job or Get Lost

[via Yoss's diary today on dKos] It would appear that two key members of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) have refrained conspicuously from endorsing Democratic candidate Ned Lamont over his De Facto Republican challenger Joe Lieberman. These badly misbehaving Senators are both from Arkansas, one is Mark Pryor, the Vice Chair of the DSCC and another is Blanche Lincoln, Chair of the Woman's Senate Network. This is not a matter of independent-mindedness, but another episode in the strategically catastrophic DLC policy of confusing capitulation for bipartisanship, and -- let's be clear about this -- is actively palpably unethical conduct. Remember the first sentence of the DSCC's formal mission statement: "Our mission is to elect more Democrats to the United States Senate." Lamont is the Democrat and Lieberman is manifestly not. That DSCC mission statement is your job description, Senators, and we expect you to do your job or get out of the way so that others will (Senator Boxer for Woman's Senate Network Chair, anyone?). Time to let the players involved know that American citizens are vigilant and organized. Here is the relevant contact information. Be cordial, the facts are on our side, and reasonableness will prevail better than immoderateness here:
