This will take five minutes.

From [profile] plaidder:

U.S. Senators Kerry, Kennedy, and Reid are now actively trying to line up the number of supporters necessary for a filibuster to stop the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Still on the fence are Senators Landrieu, Salazar, Johnson, Clinton, and Byrd.

Fire up the faxes, even if you don't live in their states. They need to know that this is a national issue and that they will be held accountable for a national disaster if they do not do everything in their power to stop this confirmation.

SaveTheCourt.org (which is a site set up by People For the American Way) has a form that allows you to fax all their targeted Senators for free.

--------

I know there are a bunch of you out there who are apolitical. If that's you, then I ask you to consider sending these faxes as a personal favor, to me. Please, please, PLEASE follow that link & send those faxes.

Done

I got an email from Senator Boxer's office today. She's doing her best to keep this tool off the Supreme Court as well.

Feinstein was fence-sitting, but may now be onboard. We've got to keep the pressure one.

Thanks for faxing.

Yeah...

I've never really liked Dianne. She's shown special interests on a few occasions. Not as bad as most, but still something I keep in the back of my mind about her.

Rah. I have now played the fax game. I don't know how much notice they will take of foreigners, but it is always worth a try.

Heh, if there are enough faxes coming in, perhaps they won't stop to check everyone's address. Thanks for helping out.

done and done.

Thank you, I really mean it.

Thank you for bringing that site to my (our) attention :)

Pass it along!

Done - and hubby sent one, too.

I didn't bother contacting my state senators' offices, though. Allen and Warner aren't going to back the Dems on Alito. I'd eat my husband's socks if they did.

It nevers hurts to call them, just to let them know that their constituency isn't monolithic.

Thanks for faxing & for recruiting others! Keep the pressure up this weekend!

Thanks for posting this site. It's so little effort to add our names to the list of faxes, but in the long run it will mean something for all our voices to be heard.

It might, it might ... thank you for sending your faxes. Now, get others to do it too! And phone calls, too. We *must* keep up the pressure this weekend.

I posted a link on my LJ and I'll be emailing my friends as well.
