Dear xxx,

Yesterday, we urged you to call Democratic senators and their leaders before they meet to decide their Alito strategy.

This meeting happens around noon today!

If you haven't called to say you're counting on senators to do everything possible to defeat this nomination, do so right now! Call toll free, [phone].

If you've already called your senators or if neither of them is a Democrat, ask for Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Senator Patrick Leahy, leader of the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.

While the press is reporting that some senators seem to think you won't mind if they fail to do everything possible to defeat Alito, newspapers from coast to coast are opposing Alito's confirmation. If confirmed, Alito will likely condone the abuse of power by the president, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and help curtail Congress' ability to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the American people.

Call your Democratic senator(s) or Senators Reid and Leahy right now while your activism will have its greatest impact -- right now.

1. Done. Since I don't have a Dem Senator, I called Leahy and Reid.

2. I began calling this number last night

and when I finally got through, Senator Nelson's (Florida) voicemail box was full and I couldn't leave a message. I called several times this morning but was told that all of his lines are busy. I guess this is a good sign that people are calling, but I want to be one of the people who has called to voice my concern.

Oops, just called again and got through. Now I'm hold.

3. The 877 line is busy. Kicking to keep this at the top.

I'm in Oregon, and I'm going to tell Wyden he can either oppose Alito or my campaign donations will go to Paul Hackett. I have had it with Dems who believe in appeasement and capitulation.
