Reply #145: Thanks so much for getting the ball rolling on this! Move On has this

Dear MoveOn member,
Alito's Senate hearings are now over, and as the New York Times put it, Alito "left a disturbing impression that as a justice, he would undermine the Supreme Court's critical role in putting a check on presidential excesses". They summarized, "In three days of testimony, he has given the American people reasons to be worried—and senators reasons to oppose his nomination."1

Opposition from Democrats and some moderate Republicans seems certain, and they are deciding this week if they will lead a filibuster. However, the media is already circulating the Republican talking point that Alito is unstoppable. If that's the only message our senators hear, the right-wing spin could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That's why this week we're aiming to generate 10,000 constituent calls to tell our senators that we oppose Alito and urge them to do what it takes to keep him off the court. Please take a minute to call Sens. Kennedy and Kerry today:

Senator Edward Kennedy
Phone: [phone]
Boston District Office: 617-565-3170

Senator John Kerry
Phone: [phone]
District Offices:
Boston: 617-565-8519
Fall River: 508-677-0522
Springfield: 413-785-4610
Worcester: 508-831-7380


These happen to be my senators, but call them even if they are not yours!
