NEW ACTION PAGE TO FILIBUSTER ALITO: http://www.nocrony.com
CALL YOUR SENATORS RIGHT NOW at 888-818-6641, 888-355-3588 or
800-426-8073 [or at the United States Capitol switchboard at (202)
224-3121 ].
NEWS FLASH: THE ALITO VOTE HAS BEEN DELAYED A WEEK. WE CAN WIN THIS!!!
We've noticed the most curious thing. Publicly Alito's supporters state
pronouncements that his confirmation is a "done" deal. And yet behind
the scenes they are still lobbying furiously for a vote as quickly as
they can get it. What do we make of this?
It's con, folks. It's a great big honking corporate media lie. There is
only one way the extreme right wing can win this one, and that is by
discouraging the rest of us from speaking out. We'd have to be pretty
stupid to go for that one, huh? We'd have to be total chumps, huh? Why
else would anyone surrender a fight when they had the numbers to win?
And we do have the numbers. We are the majority. The president is back
down to 39% approval rating and dropping again. And even if the majority
did NOT oppose their radical dictator president agenda, and all we need
are 41 votes to filibuster. We HAVE 41 votes. We HAVE 41 votes. We HAVE
41 votes. All we need to win is to exercise the power we have, the will
to win!
We'll make you a deal. For the next two weeks, we all repeat these words
as a mantra
ALITO IS NOT A DONE DEAL
If you just do that, ALL of you, repeat it in your minds until it drives
out the negativity, until it drives out the defeatism, until it drives
out the despair, until it drives out the insidious right wing talking
point which the cable TV propagandists have planted in our own minds.
Just do that one thing, and we promise that we will deliver the victory
for you.
If you are listening to a progressive show, and you hear someone say
that it is not worth fighting anymore, IMMEDIATELY call them and chew
them out. Demand that they give out one of the toll free numbers over
the air, 888-818-6641, 888-355-3588 or 800-426-8073. And to do it not in
some "ain't gonna work anyway" tone of voice, but to do it with
enthusiasm and the belief that it WILL work. Demand that they make
"WE CAN STOP ALITO";
a recurring theme of every one of their shows for the next two weeks. If
they are not giving out the toll free numbers periodically, demand to
find out why. There are other good action pages besides our own but they
should be giving out something. For the purpose of something to be given
out over the air it should be something that is easy to say and remember
like
http://www.nocrony.com
* If you visit a progressive blog and you do not see the toll-free
numbers and links to action pages RIGHT AT THE TOP of the page as
; prominently displayed as possible, email them and demand to know
why.
* We control an enormous amount of page space on the internet and it
; is NOT being used effectively to advocate for policy change.
* EVERY home page MUST have these toll free numbers and action links
FEATURED on them now without exception.
Send the emails to the bloggers, post messages. Ask them,
* are you activists or are you not?
* Why are you not helping with the fight?
* Why are you not using your media prominence to help save our
; Supreme Court?
* What are you not acting?
* Why have you not dedicated space on your site to the cause?
* Why are you not contributing to the mental energy of believing we
; can prevail?
; * Do you want to win or not?
If we all do just that, a magical thing will take place.
; * People will begin to believe that we can win.
* People will believe that we can make a difference.
* People will believe that democracy can work.
* And it will work.
* And we will win.
* We promise.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to
be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

Californians can't use the form... Barbara and Dianne want you to go to their own, respective pages.
Telephone calls are perhaps more effective. I think Barbara is set to vote against him. DiFi is true to her replublikan masters.
