Democrats take note: America is watching. Your support in the midterm and 2008 elections is directly dependent on how you define and act on your vision for a better America--which includes standing up for and passionately defending our previously won freedoms and rights.

"The nomination of Judge Samuel Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court is a defining moment for the country, and for the Democratic Party....

The Alito nomination comes at a critical moment for the Democratic Party. With President Bush's poll numbers plummeting, Democrats are finding a new optimism about their chances in 2006 and 2008. But to capitalize on the Republicans' weakness, the party needs to show that it has an alternative vision for the country. As the Democrats refine their message for next year's elections, the first thing they need to be able to say to the American people is that they did not sit by idly while the far right took over the Supreme Court and began dismantling fundamental rights and freedoms."
