I mentioned this last week but I wanted to mention it again, with more updated information.
If you are in the area, come to one of our rallies to protect the Supreme Court!
When it comes to something as important as the Supreme Court, a nomination shouldn't be made in a partisan way, but by seeking consensus across partisan lines for judges who care more about how the law affects ordinary Americans than they do about ideology. Come to our rally and let our senators, our president, and the media know that we want Supreme Court Justices who are fair, independent and committed to protecting our individual rights and freedoms.
Details are in the extended entry:
There will be 5 rallies tonight, Tuesday, July 5:
In Chicago:
Federal Plaza (Adams & Dearborn), 5:30pm
