Filibuster Friday

With the weekend almost here, I hope to have more time to write up more about the great events with Howard Dean here in Columbus on Wednesday. In the meantime, check out Tim Tagaris' On The Road With Governor Dean (Recap) post at the DNC blog and his Kos diary about the same.

But in the meantime, please check out this new Filibuster Alito site:

IT'S FILIBUSTER FRIDAY! PHONE AND FAX ALL YOUR SENATORS AT THEIR LOCAL DISTRICT OFFICES. GET ALL THEIR NUMBERS WITH THE ONE CLICK LOOKUP BELOW.
When they surrendered on the original filibuster confrontation without a fight they told us they were "saving our ammunition." Strike one.

When they waved Roberts through without demanding access to any of his records for the last 20 years they told us they were "keeping our powder dry." Strike two.

Don't DARE try to tell us that now rubberstamping the most radical jurist on the appellate bench is yet more "picking our battles."

This is our litmus test. If our senators will not protect us from this constitutional outrage, we call for each and every one to be defeated in their next election. We call for candidates to arise in their own primaries if necessary to punish them for their cowardice and their complicity. If putting their own job on the line is not a circumstance "extraordinary" enough for them we don't know what is.

Here's what Paul Hackett has said about the Alito nomination:
Alito Would Set Dangerous Course for Court
