Say NO To Alito, Damn It !! NOW's urgent appeal!!
Edited on Tue Jan-17-06 10:40 AM by IndyOp
NOW is working very hard to be a voice for women's rights with our Senate leadership and keep the Supreme Court from becoming ultra-conservative. NOW members and activists from around the country have been at NOW headquarters in D.C. working 24/7.

The newspapers say there hasn't been enough "opposition." What happens on the Supreme Court is a reflection of either a completely weakened Democratic Party or the will of the American people. It is not looking good for those of us who hold dear the long-fought legal advancements made in women's, civil and worker's rights... Get on your phones immediately and call Senators Schumer and Clinton...

Dear Senator Schumer:
Having closely followed the hearings for Samuel Alito's confirmation, I am writing to ask you to do everything you can to stop his confirmation. I believe his unquestioning support of executive power amounts to extraordinary circumstance... please work for a filibuster of Judge Alito's nomination, and should that fail, please vote "no" on his nomination. Thank you in advance for upholding the Constitution.

Senator Charles Schumer
202-224-6542; 212-486-7693
757 3rd Ave. #1702
NY, NY 10017

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
202-224-4451;212-688-6262
780 3rd Ave. #2601
NY, NY 10017

1. Hasn't a one-week delay already been granted?
The vote was moved from today to January 24th.
