Some senators seem to think you won’t mind if they fail to do everything possible to defeat Alito.



(877) 851-6437

Call Sen. Herbert Kohl and Sen. Russell Feingold

Tell them that you're counting on them to do everything possible to defeat this nomination.

Let us know how your calls went by visiting SaveTheCourt.org/CallReport



Editorial pages around the country are opposing Alito's nomination.

Dear xxxx,

If you've been reading the papers, you know that some people are trying to make it look like no one's fighting Samuel Alito's nomination.

Yesterday's New York Times quoted Steve Schmidt, who managed Alito's nomination for the White House: "The American people see Judge Alito and say, that's exactly the sort of person we want to see on the Supreme Court."

Does this Bush deputy speak for you?

If not, you need to call Sen. Herbert Kohl and Sen. Russell Feingold right now at (877) 851-6437.

Your activism may never matter more than it does TODAY. Tomorrow at lunch, Democratic senators will meet to decide their Alito strategy. Some senators seem to think you won’t mind if they fail to do everything possible to defeat Alito.

Tell Sen. Herbert Kohl and Sen. Russell Feingold that you're counting on them to do everything possible to defeat this nomination.

If there was ever any doubt that Alito's nomination is one of the most important showdowns for the progressive movement in a generation, Alito's testimony last week made it abundantly clear: If confirmed, Alito will likely condone the abuse of power by the president, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and help curtail Congress' ability to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the American people. (Visit http://www.SaveTheCourt.org/AlitoHearings to read our complete coverage.)

Tomorrow's meeting is about more than Alito's confirmation — it's about the future of the country. Don't let Sen. Herbert Kohl and Sen. Russell Feingold go into that meeting without hearing from you.

2. Another kick - in the name of preserving lady justice
We need to let our senators know we are behind no votes and filibustering 200%.
