Sorry for the length of this post, but this is the letter I sent out to all my lists!!
Friends and Activists,
I know you are probably overwhelmed, as I am, with what is happening, but one more time, PLEASE call the Democratic senators Monday toll-free at 1-877-851-6437. Tell them you SUPPORT the filibuster!! Word has it that due to overwhelming response to the Alito situation, many Senators have full voicemails or have turned them off due to all the calls!!! So below, I have listed alternate local offices for the Senators we need to focus on this WEEKEND!! Remember, a lot of people's cell phones have free weekends and most have free long distance, so this weekend would be a great time to call and leave a message, but still call on MONDAY, too!!! Kerry is leading the filibuster, but there are several DEMS who need a kick in the hiney to SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTER!! We need to call them, especially--They are:

In addition, there are two Pro-Choice Republicans who might possibly vote against Alito, tho it is a longshot. STILL TRY!
Lincoln Chafee (RI) Talk about Alito's narrow view of a woman’s right to choose and view of the Commerce Clause and his dissent ruling that Congress did not have the authority to restrict the sale of machine guns. Providence Phone (401) 453-5294 Newport Phone (401) 845-0700
Olympia Snowe (ME) Talk about preserving a woman's privacy and right to choose, without 'permission' from her husband, whether or not to continue a pregnancy. Auburn Phone (207) 786-2451 FAX (207) 782-1438 Augusta Phone (207) 622-8292 FAX (207) 622-7295 Bangor Phone (207) 945-0432 FAX (207) 941-9525 Biddeford Phone (207) 282-4144 FAX (207) 284-2358 Portland Phone (207) 874-0883 FAX (207) 874-7631 Presque Isle Phone (207) 764-5124 FAX (207) 764-6420
And for good measure, Contact Arlen Specter (PA), Chair of the Judiciary, Pro-Choice, and the Republican who immediately called for the congressional hearing into the legality of the President's wiretapping without FISA warrant. If Alito is confirmed, given his view of Unitary Executive Power, these hearings will be moot, because Alito will back President Bush. Refer to this and to a woman's right to choose to carry a pregnancy to term when you call or fax!! Allentown Phone (610) 434-1444 FAX (610) 434-1844 Erie Phone (814) 453-3010 FAX (814) 455-9925 Harrisburg Phone (717) 782-3951 FAX (717) 782-4920 Philadelphia Phone (215) 597-7200 FAX (215) 597-0406 Pittsburgh Phone (412) 644-3400 FAX (412) 644-4871 Scranton Phone (570) 346-2006 FAX (570) 346-8499 Wilkes-Barre Phone (570) 826-6265 FAX (570) 826-6266
As always, thanks for all you do, and remember that if there was EVER a time to filibuster, ALITO is it!! This man is a danger to our country, our constitution, our rights and his placement on the SCOTUS will ensure that Bush will continue to trample over our liberties!! Remind the Democrats that their BASE, the grassroots Dems, demand that they listen to us!!!
Peace! Pamela : )
