Wisconsinites have unprecedented voices in the confirmation process of Judge Samuel Alito. Let's use them! We will have materials by and about Judge Alito to read (or bring your own), to help make it clear why the Senate must not allow him to serve on the Supreme Court. All are welcome to speak out against Alito's nomination. Speak in any language, all ages invited including high school kids and grade school kids, union, non-union, grandparents, parents, people of all sexual identities, faiths.

Please join us - for as little as an hour, or as much as 24 hours!!

If possible, RSVP to [e-mail] with the time we can expect you - so we can make sure all 24 hours are covered.

Peoples' Filibuster -- Milwaukee WI

PROTECT OUR FREEDOM: STOP JUDGE ALITO

Judge Alito is NOT in the mainstream. He is an extreme conservative who - as a Judge - has written or voted that:

• Making a woman get her husband's permission for an abortion should be allowed because it was no worse than making a minor get her parent's permission;

• Police should have been able to strip search a 10-year-old girl;

• The fiancee of Chinese woman who had been forced to abort their child could not get political asylum because he had not yet been able to marry her;

• There was no reason to reverse prosecutor's decision to strike all potential black jurors in a death penalty case;

• Environmental groups could not sue a polluter - even though the company had violated the Clean Water Act 150 times;

• The government could revoke an employee's sick leave and then fire him for taking that leave;

• An employer could insist that a woman who had been severely sexually harassed go back to work with the co-workers who had harassed her.

3. Good question

It's pretty easy to do it during the convention in June but it would be nice to get together before then. This state is just big enough that it's difficult to come up with a place that's not exceedingly inconvienient for some part of the contingent.

Maybe we should try to have regional ones, or roving meetups. Possibly volunteer "hosts" could find a location and make arrangements. Being in the middle of the state, I would try to get to most any meetup provided gas stays below $3.

There had been some talk last fall of a Madison meetup but nothing was ever finalized. I'd be up for Madison if someone from the area wants to arrange it. (I left Madison 15 years ago and have no idea where to have a meetup)

February being cabin fever month, I would think it would be a fine time to get together.

4. The middle of the state sounds good to me. Anywhere in your area...

...that would be a good site? Madison sounds good too. And I agree, February would be an ideal time. Perhaps middle to later in the month?

By the way, hi to MAH.
