Dear auto,


Senator John Kerry has called for a filibuster of the Alito nomination, heeding your calls to do everything possible to defeat it. He has asked that activists now help convince his colleagues to join him.

Please contact key senators who can provide critical support to the filibuster effort!

Then forward this email to anyone you know who is worried that Alito would likely condone the abuse of power by the president, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and help curtail Congress' ability to protect the civil rights, health, safety, and welfare of the American people.



We need to act now to prevent Senate Republican leaders from ramming this nomination through the Senate -- time is of the essence.

1. he cannot do it alone...
or without 39 others to be more exact. 60 votes to invoke cloture...40 have to stand against it by either not voting or voting no...Kerry CANNOT filibuster by himself...he can call for one all day...but in the end...people will vote...
