How to Phone the Senate Against Samuel Alito
Alito is in Senate hearings for a position on the US Supreme Court.

The problem is that he has a horrible record on civil liberties including free speech.

Please phone or email your Senators and leave a message to filibuster against Samuel Alito.

For people who have never phoned a Senator's office before, here is an example of how to go about it:

    1) Find the phone number of the office. You can do this by going to vote-smart.org and entering the Senator's last name on the top-left.

    2) Call and say, "Hello, my name is ____ may I speak to someone about the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court."

    3) After being connected to someone else, say, "Hello, I'd like to leave a message for the Senator to please filibuster against Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court. We need the Supreme Court to protect civil liberties, and Alito has a bad record on civil liberties."

    You can also mention a specific issue you care about regarding Alito, if any.

12. If you don't want to phone, then please email.
Senator's websites usually have a form for emailing them.

There may even be a dropdown choice of "Alito" for your topic.
