The senators proposing "holds" or otherwise opposing this legislation are:

Call, write and whatever else you can do. The "per e-mail tax" internet hoax is now no longer a hoax, according to Senator Rockefeller of WV - it is a distinct possibility. According to some Seante staffers: "What's so special about the Internet?"
