Dear xxxx,

We’re not going to try to put an upbeat spin on it – Samuel Alito’s confirmation today as the newest member of the Supreme Court is bad news. But we’re in this for the long haul, and the work for a more just and sustainable America will continue.

Thousands of TrueMajority members called Congress, and tens of thousands more sent letters asking senators to stand up for a filibuster and allow for a full debate of Samuel Alito’s record. Twenty-five senators did this, and in doing so showed political courage in the face of overwhelming odds. A total of 42 stood up against Judge Alito’s appointment during the final vote.

It’s important to keep working hard for the type of country we want, but it’s also important to let those who stand with us know we appreciate their efforts.

According to Ralph Neas, the head of People for the American Way, "Senators who voted to extend debate did everything possible to defeat the nomination of Samuel Alito to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. They also upheld the Senate’s crucial role in our system of checks and balances. We believe that time will confirm the wisdom of their attempt to defeat this nominee".

Let’s show them our gratitude by sending them a thank you letter—it’ll let them know that they did the right thing and have our support.

Thanks for all that you do,

Matt Holland

3. Wait A Minute, Pardner!

If those 42 who voted to reject Alito had sustained the filibuster, we wouldn't have Alito.

Only 25 Democrats deserve public acclaim, thanks, and by the way, money for campaigning. The rest can go hang around Abramoff. Cut them off without a cent if they didn't vote against cloture. We have had enough public posturing and private knifing in the back.

4. Amoungst , Weasel’Cratz & Coe’Rupticans ...

of those 19 worthless bags of .sh...ia...a never mind, at least one, ONE!! must pay the piper of justice. Each principled stand should yield a few vulnerable weasel'cratz. If we keep thinning the herd of this vile weasel caucus, there is some hope to save the democrat party. mmm Can we get Al Gore to run against one of them in a primary race this year ???

Otherwise, it will be time to abandon this democrats party - leave the bastards behind and start something new, some kinda of liberal green progressive people's party deal.



... I hope the capitol police do not find out about what my t-shirts might --say?... Though I might get to hang out with cindy sheehan in the D.C. poo poo.--That would be kewl!!!---
