DNC petition of Support for Tonight's Filibuster!

[Rose Siding]

In my e-mail from the DNC-

Right now, Republicans are engaged in a 30-hour publicity stunt on the Senate floor to try and politicize the courts and force Democrats to rubber-stamp Bush's extremist nominees. But this is a fight Democrats will not give up.

(petition at link)
Dear Democratic Leaders:

The United States Supreme Court is the backbone that upholds American values.

These cherished American values are at risk if one or more Supreme Court Justices retire this summer. Civil rights, a woman's right to choose, environmental protections, public education, workers' rights, and much more are threatened by a right-wing court.

President Bush has already built a record of nominating extremist, ultra-conservative judges to the federal bench.

I stand with and support Democratic leaders in the fight to oppose ultra-conservative nominees to the nation's highest court.

Didn't know repubs were so into recycling. Anyone else tired of these recycled defeated court nominees cropping up again and again. Move on guys. It's been decided. Find another nominee and stop wasting time.

And I threw in some nasty comments to the Right Wingers too... After watching Orrin Hatch try to say that Dems are racist yesterday I wanted to throw my TV set. I hate that guy.

10. Signed it earlier and added a comment. Thanks for mentioning it.

I found it interesting that after 3 million + jobs lost so far, the Republicans in the Senate can devote 30 hours to whine about 4 judicial nominees. Some serious f**ked up priorities the Republican have.

23. Support requested from MoveOn today, as well

snip>
Republicans have scheduled 30 hours of debate in the Senate on this
issue, beginning TONIGHT. They're hoping that our friends there, who
have courageously supported filibusters* blocking the most extreme
nominees, will fold under this pressure.

We've got to buck up our friends in the Senate. Please join us in
signing an important petition, cosponsored by the Democratic National
Committee, at:

http://www.democrats.org/courts/moveon.html

If you sign on now, the DNC will hand-deliver your signature, along
with more than 100,000 others, to Senate leaders on Thursday, in time
to make a real difference in this debate.
