Contact your senators about Alito, ASAP!
Here is a letter I sent to Sen. Feingold. Copy it if you want.

Dear Senator Feingold;

In view of the fact that President Bush has admitted to breaking the law concerning warrantless wiretaps 30 times per his address on national television, and by extension has violated his oath of office 30 times, I feel that the Senate should not consider his nominee to the Supreme Court until an investigation is made into his conduct.
It's ludicrous that an admitted criminal should be allowed to appoint someone to the Supreme Court, the highest court in our land.
Not only that, in the last few days he has made 17 recess appointments which should be put on hold until he is investigated.
It is incumbent upon the congress to either hold open, televised hearings into the matter or appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate before any more action is taken about Judge Alito.

Sincerely,

2. Sent Biden and Specter one yesterday,
sent Biden and Carper one last night after reading about the 17 recess appointments. To me it sounds like the Dems are planning on rolling over. Hope I'm really wrong about that. Maybe my tinfoil hat got rusty yesterday in the rain.

4. Great letter!
Good points, too. I'm shamelessly stealing it and sending it by fax to my senators.
