Would an Alito-gram make an impact on your Senators?
How about sending a telegram?

Should this not be possible, the message will be delivered the next day.
For a minimal charge you may request a report of delivery and/or file copy.
$25.95 + .89 per word (All charges include each word in the destination address)

Washington Package
The Washington package is an economical way to have your opinion heard.
With the Washington Package, your message will be delivered to the President of the United States, your Congressman and Senator.
All attempts will be made to deliver the message the same day that it is ordered.

Western Union has this on their page, but perhaps they have cut it off a few days early, because the "send now" link just takes you back to the same place:

"Effective January 31, 2006, Western Union will discontinue all Telegram and Commercial Messaging services. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you for your loyal patronage."

I don't know if there are any other telegram services out there. I've never sent one, but I just came across the first one and it caught my eye.

5. I sent one earlier today to Sen. Chafee.
It cost $94. for a couple of lines to be hand-delivered same day. It was the best $94. I've ever spent.
