DON'T STOP NOW

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.
On my Yahoo news the breaking news story below was posted "37 minutes ago" at the time I read it. The Republicans seem satisfied with Alito's responses to questions, the Democrats less so.

So many people seem to focus on abortion rights and although this is an important issue, I think there should be more intensive questions on Civil Rights and Presidential power. Many citizens oppose abortion, but all are affected by Civil Rights rulings and certainly issues about Presidential illegal power grabs.

This is not just an Alito problem; it is part of a cunning strategy to place people in positions of power and influence that are favorable to the overall vision of America's future by Bush and cohorts (or masters, as the case may be. President Bush, himself, may be mere tool in a larger plan).

So please don't relax and feel you've done your duty so far. The fight cannot be won by one shot. A barrage is called for. So email, email, email to the members of the judiciary committee, the other Democratic AND Republican Congressmen and Senators - even if they are not a part of the confirmation approval process, they talk to each other and you can bet they're following this Alito thing closely. And phone, phone, phone. If you can't afford the long distance charges , use your cell phones or a friend's.

Politicians love numbers and statistics. Their office aides and personnel keep track of numbers - so many citizen calls or emails pro, so many anti, and create percentages. Out of blank number of calls, __% were pro, __% were against. Thus the politicians feel they are "feeling the pulse" of the people. Every email, every call counts. Pass the word and urge friends and family to follow suit.

Don't give up now. America NEEDS a moderate on the Supreme Court.
