Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has emerged as a key player if Senate Democrats are to have any chance of passing legislation to expand background checks for private sales of firearms.

McCain and Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) are at the top of a list of Republicans considered most likely to sign on to legislation expanding background checks after talks with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) stalled earlier this month.

I know... I know... if you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times - contact each Senator mentioned in this article.  The Senate's Easter recess ends the first week of April - I think they return on April 8.  The debate and vote will likely occur soon after they return.  We don't have much time.  They've already heard from us once, twice, three times - but they need to hear from us again and again until the vote is over.  Not one of your Senators?  Contact them anyway - the money you send to the NRA can still be used to defeat them in the next election and they should understand that.

We're all tired of this political crap.  We're tired of hearing about it.  We're tired of calling, emailing, faxing.  But please don't stop now.  It's not over until the vote is over.  Bloomberg, Feinstein, and Schumer won't stop so we can't either.

We've got two weeks.  Let's make 'em count.
