Reply #2: The Dems need to stand up and fillerbuster every damn thing they can

[FLPolitico]

because the right wing media echo chamber is going to twist everything they do anyway. I haven't heard any of the MSM state that 95% of Bush's judicial nominations have been approved. Why because the corporate media is fucking biased toward the Rethugs. Let me rephrase that the MSM is the wholly owned by the Republican party.

The problem I do have is that neither the Democrats nor any Democratic allied group like Moveon.org has an effective grassroots information campaign to explain why the Democrats are opposing these seven appellate judicial nominations and a little background on why these nominees are so out of the mainstream.

I joined Moveon.org a couple of months ago and donated a small sum but all I've seen are emails asking me to come to a big pity party and sign online petitions and the like.

I know that I have suggested it before but why aren't the Democrats and Democratic-leaning groups taking a page out of the right wing organizations playbook and start direct-mail campaigns. The local Democratic parties could also send out direct mailings periodically to continually soften up Republican candidates who will be up for re-election or to mobilize voters who don't normally pay attention to political issues especially those who don't usually vote or those who don't spend all day on the net.
