Here's my FAX:
Dear Senator:
I am gravely concerned for this country. With an executive branch which is apparently running rip shod over the Constitution, it is crucially important that our representatives in Congress take their oaths of office very seriously.
Concerning the Alito nomination...
Is there any doubt that this country will change if Alito rises to the high court? Some senators have expressed a concern about the filibuster being used in this case. They say that Democrats need to keep their powder dry. The only effect of this kind of thinking is to give the Republican opposition precisely what they want--to take the filibuster off the table. Remarkably, the Republicans have succeeded in precisely this goal without even pulling the trigger.
It is therefore incumbent on the Senate Democrats to call the Republicans down on this issue. The filibuster is there to use in precisely this situation, where a unchecked, uncompromising majority attempts to impose its will on a minority party which represents the views of a substantial portion of the people which some would now put as an actual majority.
If Senate Democrats are unwilling to use the filibuster in this case, pray tell, when will they use it?
Alito's appointment must fail. The country is depending on Democrat Senators doing their duty as an opposition party.
Sincerely yours,
On Edit: Updated some numbers. Obama, Durbin, Stabenow, Cantwell, Clinton, Schumer, Salazar.
Others? If you post them here, I'll update my list and repost the whole thing to the research file.
