Phone your Republican Senator against ending Filibusters.
The Senate will soon decide whether to end judicial filibusters.


George W. Bush would be able to give lifetime appointments as federal judges to whomever he wants.


If you have a Republican Senator, please phone that Senator to vote "No" on ending judicial filibusters.


You can find a Senator's office phone-number at vote-smart.org by entering the last-name on the top-left.


After phoning the office, ask to speak to someone about "judicial filibusters" and leave a message asking the Senator to vote No on ending them.


If you have two Republican Senators, please call them both.


There is no point in calling Democratic Senators, as they wouldn't vote to take away their own power.


But if you have one or two Republican Senators, call their offices as soon as possible, during business hours.


Call. Do it for Jimmy Stewart!




Jimmy Stewart filibusters as Senator Jefferson Smith in the 1939 film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," a classic directed by Frank Capra.
