as he tries to eliminate debate and filibuster in the Senate!
<snip>
Within a matter of days, the Senate could face a truly momentous decision - one with consequences that will reverberate across America for decades to come.
Senator Frist, the Republican Majority Leader, has a plan to make President Bush's judicial nominations immune to a Senate filibuster. If he can convince enough Republican Senators to go along, the nomination and confirmation of judges will become a tightly-controlled, one-party affair.
We're working hard to make sure the Senate doesn't cross this dangerous line. Here's how you can help.
Please Call Your Republican Senators Now!
Please contact Senators Bond and Talent now. In polite and respectful language, make it clear that as one of their constituents you are counting on them to oppose Senator Frist's dangerous plan to deny millions of Americans any meaningful voice in decisions vital to America's future.

http://www.johnkerry.com/callreportThere is so much on the line in this debate. And, I am convinced that if we mobilize as quickly and effectively as possible, we can prevent the Senate from taking the dangerous course that Republican leaders have called for. Remember, we're fighting for the strength and vibrancy of democracy itself.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
P.S. If you need extra incentive for making those calls:
Imagine a world in which every appointment to the federal judiciary is a tightly-controlled, one-party exercise.
Imagine the kinds of judges that will sit on the federal bench - even on the Supreme Court -- if George W. Bush never needs a single Democratic vote.
Imagine the kind of decisions those judges will make that will directly affect your life and your constitutional rights.
