ACTION ALERT: OPPOSE ALITO NOW!

It just takes 2 minutes. Really.

And it may be two of the most important minutes you'll ever spend. Just send a short, simple, forceful letter to your Senators asking them to oppose Judge Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court.

Judge Alito has a record of extreme views on issues like privacy and civil rights and a pattern of deception to hide them from congress and the public. He also favors unprecedented executive branch powers (he supports King George's use of Presidential power, which has been systematically destroying the balance of power in our democracy!) He has a record of an unusually high number of dissents from the majority view on the bench--most of which neatly support his ultra-conservative right wing political beliefs at the expense of the law. He's the wrong choice for the highest court in the land.

You can quickly write a short letter to your Senators and deliver it online just by clicking here.

Don't forget to use the "Tell Others" section to send automatic e-mails to your friends and relatives who share your concerns.

Thanks in advance for doing this! Not much could be more important.
