Democrats must force the Republican Senate's hand and filibuster Alito
The Republican Senate is built on one last house of cards. The nuclear option. The idea is dead, but Democrats haven't figured it out yet. The Nuclear option is built on the premise that a popular President is being obstructed by an unpopular minority party.

The truth on the ground is far from that. The vast majority of the public wants President Bush's hands tied. We think he's incompetent. He gets no more free rides.

Now, we want to show the American people that the Republicans in the Senate are a "rubber stamp" right. What a better way is there then forcing them to try and change the Senate rules to give themselves more power?

This is the biggest weapon we have right now. We need to make sure our people use it. Call your Democratic Senators today. Do it.

1. I agree - and now the GOP are pushing for Nuke so as to take Abramoff
out of page 1.

The GOP should be allowed to have what they are wishing for,

The nuke vote is a must if the party expects the left to bust their Butt in 06 or 08.

I will not work in politics for cowards.
