17 Jan 2006 Contact Sen. Kennedy to thank him for his work on the Judiciary Committee last week and ask him to filibuster Alito confirmation whether he has the votes or not and whether Frist threatens the nuclear option or not.
Tell him to forget the Gang of 14. If this is not worth going to the wall for, what is? If not now, when? People didn't think we could defeat Bork either, and we did. We can do the same now with Alito.

The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON – After an unflappable 18 hours before a panel of 18 senators last week, Judge Samuel Alito is all but assured confirmation in the full Senate - just not by Friday.
At 11 a.m. Tuesday, Senate Democrats are expected to delay the vote, despite an agreement with the panel's chairman, Sen. Arlen Specter (R) of Pennsylvania, to move Judge Alito's nomination toward a final Senate vote by Jan. 20. The delay would give Democrats a last chance to discuss strategy on this vote face to face, to sift through Alito's response to written questions, to revisit hearing transcripts, and to do one last nose count on whether there is support for a filibuster to block the vote. Comment: This means that you, dear reader, and all your friends and family have to step up to the plate and bring this inning home. Alito must NOT be confirmed. If he is, it will be the death of the Constitution! Use the links at left, the "Million Phone March", to fill out the easy to email letter to your congressmen and newspapers. We tried it, and it works. Within a week, we had nice letters in the mail from three congressmen thanking us for contacting their offices and giving them an opinion. Yes, it was a form letter, but what it meant was that the system set up by this activist group really works! So, it can't get any easier than that! Click the link, fill in your information, and click send! Make it short and sweet:
"As a voter in your district, I demand that Congress hold Bush accountable for high treason and that Judge Alito NOT be confirmed to the supreme court. I demand a filibuster against Alito's confirmation, and if there isn't one, my vote and the votes of my friends and family will go to someone who WILL support a filibuster and the arrest of George W. Bush." That is, in fact, what SOtT wrote ... |

Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, January 17, 2006 The top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee reached an agreement yesterday evening to wait until next Tuesday to vote on the nomination of Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court.
Comment: This means that all of us have just a few days to register our instructions to our representatives. Don't delay. If you don't do it, who will???

Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, January 17, 2006 With his affable demeanor and his open-door policy, House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert remains unchallenged in the most powerful post in Congress, even as a growing corruption scandal roils the Republican leadership and more Congress-watchers say the speaker bears some responsibility for the troubles that have developed on his watch.
