Fax to Filibuster Alito

Alito is NOT ABOUT abortion. Bush cares NOTHING about stopping abortion.

Alito is about giving Bush permission to illegally wiretap.

Alito is about giving Bush permission to torture people who are still presumed to be innocent (they haven't even been indicted, let alone convicted).

Alito is about preventing investigation of executive privilege abused.

I understand that the filibuster is not a tool to be used trivially. Alito is not a trivial threat. Senators should stand up for our Senate, stand up for the Constitution, and stand up for us. They must filibuster Samuel Alito's nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

Fax to filibuster NOW!!!

•  Use your own words please!

  There is some boilerplate text in the savethecourt form, but delete that and write your own. We don't want to dilute our message with the perception that this is an astroturf/spam campaign.

  And don't fax another's prepared docs to your senators please, especially those that want to add other issues to the mix... stay on message, it is that important.

•  this is an excellent point.

  I've always said that the Republicans were playing their base for fools when it came to abortion. Take the "partial-birth" abortion ban. It's so draconian that it does not have an exception for the health of the mother. So what do the courts do? Strike it down for that very reason. This allows the GOP to have its cake and eat it too as then it can claim that they tried to deliver on the abortion issue but the liberal "activist judges" again stood in their way. It paints them as the good guys while demonizing liberals as Satanic fetus-eaters.
