Call your DEM Senator--Insist on FILIBUSTER. SOON!!. Rate this up, please

[autorank]

There is still a chance to stop Alito. It ain't over yet.

CALL YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATOR AND DEMAND A FILIBUSTER.

THE ISSUE IS CHOICE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAS PEOPLE WORRIED.
If this guy gets in and tries to reverse Roe, there is a fear that
those who stood by will be held accountable. No kidding!

If your state has a Democrat in the Senate make the call.

ALSO, call Feingold. He's central.

Two free numbers for D.C Capitol Switchboard: 1-866-340-9281 and 1-866-340-9279

IT'S ALL ABOUT PRESSURE, LETS APPLY SOME!!!!


Senate Directory: Please CALL then send emails. Be sure you're in the Senator's state (except for Feingold who should hear form all of us).

1. done....nt

[Guaranteed]

2. Emailed Obama and Durbin.

Told them this would be the most important decision they ever made as Senators.

[autorank]

3. Great!!! Called Feingold

My Senators are Warner and Allen. Calling Republicans is a waste.

More Dems, more messages, more calls.

Calls do the trick, emails help too. Why not do both.

[radio4progressives]

20. what did Feingold's office staffers say? or did you just leave a message?

[JohnWxy]

43. if the Repubs are up next election it might be worth

contacting them and saying if they vote to nominate you will do everything you can to get out and vote them out of office next time. I mean, it might be worth a shot.

[Oceansaway]

6. ILLINOIS checking in....n/t

[il_lilac]

19. done too

at least when we talk to Durbin and Obama they hear us.

[FogerRox]

Tell all the Senators we will march in support of a FILIBUSTER

Thats the deal

[Jeffersons Ghost]

21. ok

if they shut it down, i can get to atlanta but i'll need a ride from there... can anyone give me a lift from Hotlanta? I need a new car but this economy is so spooky i don't want to go deep in debt.

[FogerRox]

22. HOld that thought friend-- we got a movement here

threads all over DU calling for Filibuster


SHUT IT DOWN

[FogerRox]

23. SHUT IT DOWN

[autorank]

24. Hey Rox, Have a Nice Day;)

[McCamy Taylor]

25. Called Feingold, called Clinton, too.

If the Senate Dems fillibuster, they will mobilize the base for this fall. If they do nothing, the base may punish the party this fall. What do we elect these guys for? To represent us. And the majority of Americans and the vast majority of Democrats want to protect Roe v. Wade.

[autorank]

28. Terrific...they need to act boldly! n/t

[LeftNYC]

26. Emailed Clinton and Schumer...

Rhode Island people need to get on Chafee...

[autorank]

29. Chaffee is one Republican to call! Terrific! n/t

[ClassWarrior]

27. Done - K&R.

NGU.

[autorank]

30. You are a classy warrior!

:hi:

[KansDem]

31. Won't do me any good...

But I did send an email to www.democrats.org explaining my intense displeasure if the Democrats didn't filibuster. I don't know what good it will do, but I did feel a little better afterward.

[FogerRox]

32. Recommend this thread--- sept 24th-- in DC

[Catchawave]

33. Yikes...all my reps are Republican....

...and have contacted them. Does this count?

Are there any Dems I should contact that are on the fence? Best I can do with out of state reps is tell them I won't visit their state or vote for them for President!

[FogerRox]

36. Nelson may be on the fence-- tell him to SHUT IT DOWN

[pberq]

39. Call Feingold

Washington, DC
506 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-4904
[phone]
TDD [phone]
Fax [phone]

[zann725]

34. Done!

A "must" for all DU'ers...and Americans TODAY! The time is NOW to act. No more "talk" about Filibusters, then backing off... as the Dems have done so many times in the past.

The time to save Democracy and our Constitution is NOW...or never.

[lebkuchen]

35. Two phone calls to Feinstein!

She's getting lots of calls. Lines are busy. Keep calling.

[FogerRox]

37. thast right-- let all DEM senators know we want a filibuster

WE EXPECT A FILIBUSTER---- OR ELSE

[pberq]

38. Called Feingold's office, and urged him to support a

fillibuster. The staffer said she would be sure to pass it on.

Let's keep up the pressure!

[guidod]

40. Just e-mailed and phoned

Boxer abnd Feinstein. this thread has my vote. Thanks

[JohnWxy]

41. thanks, you are right, a filibuster should be mounted.

He refused to say Roe vs. Wade is "settled law", so there is no doubt what he plans on doing. But I also think, perhaps even more ominous (if that's possible) is his attitude re the presidency. He thinks the president should be able to operate without checks and balances. Basically, he thinks the president should be free to decide what laws he will respect and which he willl ignore and that he will decide if he needs to inform Congress or the public when he decides to break a law. This really is a prescription for a disaster.

On individual liberties this guy is way out of step with about 80% of Americans. I am sure he does not think he is a Nazi, but he is. Does a Nazi ever really realize he is a Nazi? Once he is on the Court and people start to realize how bad he is, it will be too late to do anything about it!

This issue is JUST TOO IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE TO SIT BACK AND BE A SPECTATOR. IF EVER YOU WANTED TO DO SOMETHING 'THAT MATTERED' THIS IS IT. CALL, EMAIL, APPEAR ON THE STEPS OF CONGRESS. TELL THEM TO FILIBUSTER. EVEN IF IT FAILS THEY WOULD BE MAKING AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT THAT THIS GUY IS SO FAR OUT OF STEP THAT HE MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

All the media types are talking like this guy is a 'shoo-in'. Well, I think they should check with the people before they 'make that decision'. There were people elsewhere who thought "OH, things couldn't get that bad." but in their naivete they proved to be dead wrong.

Once civil liberities are compromised, just a little bit, it becomes easier to squeeze them a little more and a little more. And before you know it you can't even speak up to protest without putting yourself in considerable jeopardy. DON'T THINK IT COULDN'T GET THAT BAD HERE - WE ARE NOT IMMUNE TO EXTREMISM AND DEMOGOGUERY.

Please email, phone, AND call for a fillibuster. THIS TIME IT REALLY MATTERS!

[JohnWxy]

42. IF your state senators are REpublicans call / email them to say

YOu'll do everything you can to vote them out the next election. If enough people do this it could have an effect. This is a battle worth fighting.


Congress.org is also set up for sending messages to your Congressmen and Senators

Please folks, everybody must do this. It's THAT IMPORTANT!!!!

[Rainscents]

45. I really hope, pro choice GOP and moderate Republicans call

their Senators too! These people need to do their parts also!

[Rainscents]

44. I just got off the phone with Both of my Senators!!!

[JohnWxy]

46. Repetitive phone-calls would be good.

I think they should be told re the "extraordinary circumstances" agreement - THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE - this guy's beliefs are known. HE believes in a presidency of unchecked power. He believes in unwarranted and unreasonable search and siezure (in disagreement with the majority of judges on the bench!).

Also, you can say IT'S NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE DEALS WITH THE DEVIL. And also, we who were not there did not make any deals and you weren't speaking for us when you agreed that if the nominee was at least not a serial criminal you'd lay down and let the totalitarian majority party have it's way. Tell them they had no right to make such a deal!

[Chomskyite]

47. My email to Mary Landrieu

Please consider filibustering Judge Alito. During the Reagan administration, he is the one who originated the practice of the presidential "signing statement." When a president signs a bill into law, he/she can write a statement on the bill that in effect becomes the way the president chooses to execute that law, obey it or disobey it.

Bush wrote such a statement on the recently signed anti-torture law, passed overwhelmingly by both houses. In essence he wrote that he reserved the right to disregard that law should he deem it necessary.

If Alito is confirmed, that means that the Supreme Court has tipped in favor of a party whose president believes he may disregard any law overwhelmingly passed by Congress if he disagrees with it and writes a "signing statement" on it. Imagine what this what have meant had Nixon exercised this when Congress voted to no longer fund the Vietnam War!

Your support of the filibuster would be a way of standing up for the continuation of the three branch system, of an independent judiciary and against the slow devolution of the executive branch into the seat of a tyrant.

[FogerRox]

48. ALito is the checkmate that the BUSH regime needs

SHUT THE SENATE DOWN

[pat_k]

49. Congress.org makes it easy ---- See the Alito ACTION ALERT here:

Alito ACTION ALERT

[emlev]

50. Done. Kick!

[FogerRox]

51. Dinner time kick

[freedomfries]

52. thanks for posting this autorank!

you are 100% right! Let's keep up the pressure! This guy has to be stopped. Now.

[autorank]

53. Keep those calls coming. They're getting feisty...time to come through.

FILIBUSTER
