Standing Strong to Filibuster Alito

Here’s an update on those committed to Stand Strong and filibuster the Alito nomination…

Leading the Fight:
John F. Kerry and Edward M. Kennedy.

Committed to Filibuster:
Barbara Boxer (D- CA), Dianne Feinstein (D- CA), Christopher J. Dodd (D- CT), Richard J. Durbin (D- IL), Debbie A. Stabenow (D- MI), Robert Menendez (D- NJ), Harry Reid (D- NV), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- NY), Charles Schumer (D- NY), Ron Wyden (D- OR), Russell D. Feingold (D- WI).

Each and everyone of those Senators deserve our support and our thanks, now and in the future. This has been a tough decision for each of them and it’s one that deserves our acknowledgement and praise. We all know that the odds are slim that this will be pulled off… But, it all about standing up and standing strong on the principles that you believe in. So, to each of these Senators, I say — “I’ve got your back.” I hope everyone here will join me.

Now, this brings me to the next part of my post… The Senators listed below need our help to recognize the folly of their ways. The first list is the Undecided’s, the next the Against Filibuster and the last the Dem Senators who will vote to confirm Alito.

If you are with me in this fight, if you have the back’s of John Kerry, Edward M. Kennedy and those committed to this fight, get on the phone and call each and everyone of them and let them know you want a filibuster!

2. Also remember, we do not have to have 41 solid supporters, just 41

who will not vote for cloture.
Those 41 can deprive the Repubs of the 60 that they have to have by doing any of the following:
1. Voting "no" on cloture
2. Abstaining
3. Being "absent" during the vote.

ALL WORK EQUALLY WELL! They all deprive the Repubs of their 60.
