Keep those fax numbers and links handy. Do not go away. |

Never let those Senators who opposed Alito forget how much they meant to us, the populist wave, who believe in a country that cares for ALL its citizens. Not just those who occupy the corporate boardrooms. Remind them that we remain vigilant. Fax them some more. Tell them what kind of nation you want to live in.
Conversely: remind those Senators who sought to end debate how you feel. Remind them that by a procedural vote they have promoted a judge who condones the thuggish, humiliating treatment of this nation's citizens.
Use these numbers and links to keep these Senators in check. Please do not harrass. Remind them how a grass roots movement is alive in this country. (They were certainly overwhelmed by our actions, overwhelming their phone systems and websites.) We are alive, still, and have the power to speak what matters most to us.
Posturing should not be tolerated by our politicians when they are debating the worth of our civil liberties. They should be in Washington to protect our liberties. Never to decide which ones can be bargained away. They need to know that.

4. a dupe on this subject is great |
|
Folks need more than one reminder. My concern is that the thunderous activity would just disappear, forgotten by those elected to serve us.

I'm with you. We have to do this every single day in order to make them understand what Democrats really think.

Yes, all this was NOT for nothing. It was part of the building of a grassroots machine, an infrastruture that can kick in on the next issue and the next and the next.
Don't ever give up!
