We must keep stopping Alito at the top of all pages!!!!!!!!!!!!

[debbierlus]

I think that the DU corps action alert should be kept at the TOP of the home page until this is over!!!! We have about four or five days to recruit as many people as possible to sign, fax, call, and show up at their Senators offices....demanding a filibuster. I realize most everyone here has done the action alerts, and will do more as the week progresses, but people just visiting the site could be drafted in our efforts - if we keep it front and center.

NOTHING, and I repeat, NOTHING is more important this week then stopping Alito. I think that all liberal blogs, all liberal talk shows, all liberal sites should make that the top story this week and pound out the message, RELENTLESSLY.

I am serious as a heart attack. Nothing else should be discussed on liberal talk shows this week. This is LITERALLY a constitutional crisis, we are facing. And, Alito will have the power to crown Bush 'King George'....This Unitary Executive Theory is SOOOOOOOO DANGEROUS.

So, everyone join together in making this priority ONE. Everything else we talk about hinges on this.....Keep focused.

1. you are right, and the democrats better NOT cave on this one

they had better do everything to try and stop this nomination, including filibuster even if it mean the nuclear option

2. Let's also use language

to advance our cause. Not the "Unitary Executive" (that's their term), but "IMPERIAL Executive". Please see this thread:

9. I post the savethecourt.org website all over message boards and blogs

And, it does work. I used the personal page they give you when you sign the petition, and then used that link to get people to sign. After, I posted on blogs and boards, I invariable got five or ten signatures. So, it does work!

Simple, easy, effective!

I tried to get on Laura Flanders last night, but after a hour and a half on hold, I hung up. I might try again, tonight. One of her guests said the democrats would not stop Alito with only 45 Senators, and she did not correct him! I am SO SICK of the left resigning to defeat when the dems say there still is a chance they will filibuster. That kind of talk just reinforces the 'what is the point' attitude the right so wants us to have. Who are we to claim the dems are defeatists if WE give up?!

I am truly frightened that Alito will be appointed, and I won't be able to live with myself, if I do not do EVERYTHING possible to stop it. At the very least, I will be able to live with myself knowing I dedicated myself for a week to stopping him.

10. Debbie you are doing terrific work.

Im very concerned as well.

Is it not ludicrous that such a person who has proven himself to be a racist and misogynist, has an agenda for expanding George Bush's already overzealous power into further tyranny and we are having to fight this f*****g hard?

What is wrong with America?

With that said, there is much right with America.

You are certainly a big part of what is right.

Thanks for your posts.
