The senators include influential Democrats such as Majority Whip Dick Durbin and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and major Republican players John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Their announcement came just one day before President Obama is set to announce his policy recommendations on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
