Dear Senator Reid
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 02:37 PM by smoogatz
Samuel Alito must not be confirmed. It's that simple. Not unless we're ready, as a nation, to endure a generation of hard-right rule, enabled by a Supreme Court more conservative than Herbert Hoover's. Not unless we're ready to sit back and witness the incremental whittling-away of women's rights, starting with the right to reproductive choice. Not unless we're willing, as a nation, to kiss environmental protection, worker's rights, the right to privacy and the rights of the accused goodbye. And certainly, Samuel Alito should not be confirmed unless we agree, as a nation, that the President should not be constitutionally required to obey the law. I urge you to use whatever means are necessary to stop Samuel Alito from being confirmed as a supreme court justice. We're not ready, as a nation, to turn the clock back to 1937.

All best regards,

Smoogatz

1. Is it too much to ask
to just ask them to at least fight and filibuster, instead of rolling over?
