While we have to generate the pressure on all Senators, the decision to filibuster (or not) will also be a leadership decision.

Call the Leadership Offices!


Harry Reid, NV Democratic Leader (202) 224-3542

Dick Durbin, IL Assistant Democratic Leader (202) 224-2152

Patrick Leahy, VT Ranking Member Judiciary Committee (202) 224-4242

Senate Democrats refuse to signal whether or not they will filibuster Alito. They appear to have 41 votes, since Ben Nelson (D-NE) is the only one of 44 Democrats who supports Alito. Jim Jeffords (I-VT) should oppose Alito, and 5 Republicans - Lamar Alexander (TN), Lincoln Chafee (RI) Susan Collins (ME), Olympia Snowe (ME), and Ted Stevens (AK) - are undecided.
(Call:
1-888-355-3588
or
1-888-818-6641

For extra credit, use the same numbers to call all the 2008 Presidential candidates who are sitting Senators - Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Russ Feingold, and John Kerry - and tell them to either LEAD THE FILIBUSTER or FORGET ABOUT YOUR SUPPORT. You can also send that message to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (202-224-2447) and the Democratic National Committee (202-863-8000).

CALL YOUR SENATORS!

If Repug, tell them "No" to Alito; if Democrat: FILIBUSTER!
If the Washington lines are busy you can also call your Senators' home offices (for info, click here:)< CALL YOUR SENATORS (Click here)

Get the word out about why Alito needs to be filibustered:

Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. (Click here)

People for the American Way has collected nearly 65,000 signatures to send to the Senate, please add yours: Save the Court Petition

John Kerry has endorsed this anti-Alito petition, signers' names will be read into the Congressional Record:

Judy, Alexander of TN has already voted with the party.  I could not expect anything less of him.  He is just that way. This is why I have been voiceless in my state.  Even my rep. is a blue dog democrat that votes more times than not with the repbulicans!  What can I say any more.  I sign the petitions and I call and write to them all. I go down the list, no matter what party they are.  I have done this now for going on 6 years.  I really am getting tired.  I seem to be spinning my wheels for nothing; however, I keep trying.  BTW, I appreciate all that you ahve done for the vote against alito.  Hugs..
