South Carolinians: You can help stop the confirmation of Thomas Farr to the federal court

Thomas Farr, one of the principal architects of the modern-day voter suppression in South Carolina is poised to be confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the federal district court.

The vote is close, but Sen. Tim Scott has not announced his position - if he votes no, the nomination will probably fail. He previously shot down another anti-civil rights nominee by announcing he would vote no. Scott, an African American, has no business voting for this man. He probably knows it, but needs to feel some serious pressure from his constituents.

If you or family live in South Carolina, PLEASE call Sen. Scott and tell him to VOTE NO on FARR!
