Keep up the fight...Down with Alito. We have a week...Lets use it!

If the Repukes choose to break the longstanding rules of the Senate, just to get their way, we have a golden opportunity to call them cheats...and make it stick!

Here is a plan in case they go nuclear:
1. Raise a stink about how the repukes are changing the rules in the middle of the game. Americans don't like cheaters!
2. Link it to all their other unethical behavior.
3. Shout out that "Most Americans have to play by the rules"
4. Charge that the Republicans, by breaking long standing rules are rending the fabric of collegiality whereby work gets done.
5. Vow to meticulously follow the rules until the Repukes undo their damage.
Keep calling them cheaters till they relent.

We must not fold at the threat of a nuke, or we are dead!

If you give into a bully, they get worse. Threatening the nuclear option means that the Repukes would be the ones shutting things down.

And we could use all of our allotted time to raise the many objections to Alito from legal and civic groups all over the country.

I do not want to wake up in a year and find that the Supreme Court has abolished Roe, legalized wiretapping and found that the laws under which Abramhof and others are charged were not really constitutional and that it was OK for Bushco to leak Plames'name and the identity of her covert company, Brewster Jennings.

We can stop it now. The Democrats and moderate Republicans need to hear from us loud and clear. We can win this one if we fight. We must.

1. But How Do We Get Heard??

Most Americans don't WANT to hear it. The MSM (Corporate Media) doesn't want to report on it. Most of our own Democratic Senators and Congressmen don't want to call attention to it, and don't want to fight...because they know they will be lampooned, impugned, and clamshelled by the likes of Limpballs, O'Lielly, and the rest of them.

what the hell do we do?? In the name of GOD, what the hell do we do??

I am VERY SCARED for our future now. I am so afraid that they are going to get their way, and keep getting their way, and keep getting their way, until our power to fight back has been completely leeched from us, without any of us knowing how it happened...and we will be the new soviet Union...no longer able to raise our voice in dissent, lest we risk gulag or worse.

I don't put it past these people, and I am literally scared right out of my fucking mind, I can't tolerate much more of this!! I can't keep living at this level of tension!

4. First, vow to fight to the end. Keep calling. Call ALL the senators.

Keep up the pressure. Don't buy the argument that it is a done deal. That is what Bush and the MSM want us to think. Make sure the Senators know how mad you are.
Then, tell everyone you know to do the same. We can't quit now and be good Germans.
