Okay, these are the facts as I understand them.
There are as many as 44 Votes AGAINST the nomination of Samual Alito on the Supreme Court, more than enough to sustain a filibuster. BUT....at least eight (8) of the Senators would not vote to support the filibuster. Hence, the Democratic Party won't even ATTEMPT to filibuster this odious candidate.
Therefore, we need ONE, JUST ONE REBEL SENATOR to start the filibuster. We need a simple act of insurrection against the cowardice of the Democratic leadership. Maybe the "hesitant eight" won't vote to sustain but then they will have to face the wrath of the voters at home.
Who is our "rebel"?
Who will stand up for principle?
Whoever it is; whoever stands up will find, maybe to his/her surprise that he/she is NOT ALONE. They will find MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS MARCHING BEHIND THEM. Just look what happened last August. Cindy Sheehan decided to go to Crawford, Texas to confront Bush. She took this on her own, personal initiative and soon found thousands standing with her. Hundreds of thousands holding vigils in support of her across the nation were more than Cindy ever expected or could have possibly predicted.
Sometimes a little insurrection can lead to a whole new way of looking at things.
Stand up. Whoever you are! There are millions looking for you.
