E-mail from Kerry asking to contact Allard

[GardeningGal]

I plan on calling, but don't have much hope. I've written or called Allard several times in the past with no result.

Here's the e-mail:

Dear ,

Within a matter of days, the Senate could face a truly momentous decision - one with consequences that will reverberate across America for decades to come.

Senator Frist, the Republican Majority Leader, has a plan to make President Bush's judicial nominations immune to a Senate filibuster. If he can convince enough Republican Senators to go along, the nomination and confirmation of judges will become a tightly-controlled, one-party affair.

We're working hard to make sure the Senate doesn't cross this dangerous line. Here's how you can help.

Please Call Your Republican Senator Now!

Please contact Senator Allard now. In polite and respectful language, make it clear that as one of his constituents you are counting on him to oppose Senator Frist's dangerous plan to deny millions of Americans any meaningful voice in decisions vital to America's future.

Senator Allard's office can be reached at:
Colorado Springs 719-634-6071
Denver 303-220-7414
Durango 970-375-6311
Grand Junction 970-245-9553
Loveland 970-461-3530
Pueblo 719-545-9751

To help us track the number of calls our campaign is generating and know where we need to place our efforts, please let us know you've made the calls.

There is so much on the line in this debate. And, I am convinced that if we mobilize as quickly and effectively as possible, we can prevent the Senate from taking the dangerous course that Republican leaders have called for. Remember, we're fighting for the strength and vibrancy of democracy itself.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. If you need extra incentive for making those calls:

Imagine a world in which every appointment to the federal judiciary is a tightly-controlled, one-party exercise.
Imagine the kinds of judges that will sit on the federal bench - even on the Supreme Court -- if George W. Bush never needs a single Democratic vote.
Imagine the kind of decisions those judges will make that will directly affect your life and your constitutional rights.

1. I called my repuk senator..

Senator Ensign R-NV.

His staff person said that he was keeping a tally and that he sends the tally each day to the Senator.

Please do call - it can only help. Also, I hit Kerrys' "I called" button. Seems next Tuesday he is running an ad in USA Today. I am guessing/hoping he puts in the number of calls that went out.
