Ben Nelson (NE) originally stated he would vote Yes for Alito. But it looks like he is putting his finger in the wind. He is now taking calls and tallies as well: 202-224-6551 .

Bill Nelson (FL) SAYS HE IS NOT HEARING FROM ENOUGH CONSTITUENTS! DC Phone: 202-224-5274 . He is hearing from tons of right-wingers who are saying that he should not filibuster!

Ken Salazar (D-CO) is taking your calls now regarding whether or not he should support the filibuster! Call the toll free line - 1-888-355-3588 (PRESS 2) . OR FAX: Senator Salazar: 202-228-5036 (DC FAX) .

This is about your future. This is about America's future. If the lines are busy, call again, and again, and again.

They will ask you if you support the filibuster or don't support it when you call, and that's all they want to know. They ARE taking a tally. If you're not a consituent, CALL ANYWAY . PLEASE. They will ask what city you are calling from, or a zipcode.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE ANYMORE. CALL.

BUSY? KEEP TRYING!!!

THEY SAY THEY'RE EVEN TALLYING YOU IF YOU SAY YOU *AREN'T* A CONSTITUENT!

PLEASE!

13. a quick tip for everyone
I noticed that when I use 10-10-987 or one of those types of numbers and THEN 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx (yeah, I like 3 cents/minute deals) I get through easier than if I dial the number directly.

24. I live in NJ - how about this for a nickname? I - LIE - TOO
What an embarrassment to our state and to Princeton that this liar and his dishonorable colleagues, like Rummy and Perle, are! I called Menendez, and explained how important it is to the liberal majority in NJ that our democratic senators stand up to the bullying cons. I will call Lautenberg and others fence-sitters in other states too. I went to Lautenberg's webform already.

Here is a flyer with an excerpt from Gore's speech (about fear) - also, TV, radio and web resources for North and Central Jersey.

25. I have called or emailed every Dem senator today.
And even a few Repubs.

Whew, I'm tired!

I tried to keep my email short and sweet:

I am not one of your constituents, but I am writing to you because this issue effects every citizen across this nation. I am writing to ask you to please support the filibuster of Samuel Alito. Alito's views on executive power are most definitely outside the mainstream. We are facing the threat of a unitary presidency. I believe the future of the republic is at stake with this nomination.

There are times when we are faced with a choice - stand up for what is right or bow to pressure to go along to get along. This is one of those times.

I urge you to stand up for what is right. Oppose Alito's nomination and support the filibuster.

(Oh, and on Lieberman's I added "If ever there were a time to start acting like a Democrat, this is it." I can't stand him.)

33. Local Offices!! CALL and FAX
I apologize, in advance, for the length of this post, but this is an emergency!
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!!

In addition, there are two Pro-Choice Republicans who might possibly vote
against Alito, tho it is a longshot. STILL TRY!

and view of the Commerce Clause and his dissent ruling that Congress did not
have the authority to restrict the sale of machine guns.

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!!

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!!!

No need to call for support, but maybe call and THANK them
for having a spine!
