Rep. Lynn Woolsey
January 12, 2006

I have been watching the hearings and decided that this man is
dangerous and extreme and must not be allowed to sit on the Supreme
Court. A filibuster, if the only way, must be used.

He refused to state that a person found innocent of a crime, while
sitting on death row, should not be executed. He refused to place any
limits on the power of the president. I do not wish to live under a
dictatorship and would hoope that you do everything you can to
prevent this nominee from going further, for the sake of all citizens
of this country.

Sandra Day O'Connor, a widely respected and moderate justice, has
resigned from the Supreme Court. Now, in anywhere from a few hours to
a few days President Bush will nominate a replacement—and what
happens next will either destroy or protect our most basic rights for
decades to come. This is an absolutely critical moment for our
senators to hear directly from the people—and our message is clear:
PROTECT OUR RIGHTS!

We've launched an urgent petition to take your voice straight to your
senators in this critical time to show Congress, the president and
the media that the American people are engaged and ready to
fight for our rights. Please sign today:

Dear Senator

I urge you and the other Democratic senators to filibuster the Alito
nomination. This is an extraordinary time calling for extraordinary
measures.

I don't need to tell you why the prospect of Judge Alito as Justice
Alito is frightening. But in addition to the very real likelihood
that civil and privacy rights will suffer, while corporations and the
executive branch will be afforded vast new powers in our society,
there is the overriding issue of President Bush potentially having
committed criminal violations of FISA. He should not be allowed to
name a justice until this issue has been resolved. That is an
eminently reasonable position for the Senate to take.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings (and I'm not even humming yet.)
We may not be able to sway even some Democrat senators, but we can

As long as we still have that right, let's exercise it:
If Repug, tell them "No" to Alito; if Democrat: FILIBUSTER!

What will happen if the Alito nomination is defeated? History has an
answerSome who do not want to see Alito on the Supreme Court ask why
it's worth fighting to defeat the nomination since George W. Bush
could just come up with another, equally objectionable nominee if
Alito is rejected. Here's our answer....
