Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer, for example, are using their political action committees (PACs) to put pressure on Republican senators to vote against their president's nominee to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Kerry is even using his PAC funds to run ads in Rhode Island to convince GOP Senator Lincoln Chaffee to turn his back on President Bush and vote against his nominee's Senate confirmation.

On his PAC Web site Kerry writes, "In addition to being vocal about my own opposition to Senator Bolton, I am organizing johnkerry.com activists in Rhode Island to contact Senator Chafee, and I am running online ads in the Rhode Island media."

On her PAC Web site, Boxer urges her supporters to sign her petition to President Bush to throw Bolton to the wolves and name someone else to represent the United States at the scandal-ridden United Nations.

Bragged Boxer: "Thanks in large part to your efforts, including more than 37,000 emails you sent to your senators in protest, Bolton's nomination was stopped in its tracks. Republican Senator George Voinovich of Ohio joined committee Democrats in urging more careful consideration of John Bolton's nomination, delaying a final vote for three weeks - and I am so grateful for his support on this critical issue."
