NEW ACTION PAGE TO FILIBUSTER ALITO: http://www.nocrony.com

 

CALL YOUR SENATORS RIGHT NOW at 888-818-6641, 888-355-3588 or

800-426-8073 [or at the United States Capitol switchboard at (202)

224-3121 ].

 

NEWS FLASH: THE ALITO VOTE HAS BEEN DELAYED A WEEK. WE CAN WIN THIS!!!

 

We've noticed the most curious thing. Publicly Alito's supporters state

pronouncements that his confirmation is a " done " deal. And yet behind

the scenes they are still lobbying furiously for a vote as quickly as

they can get it. What do we make of this?

 

It's con, folks. It's a great big honking corporate media lie. There is

only one way the extreme right wing can win this one, and that is by

discouraging the rest of us from speaking out. We'd have to be pretty

stupid to go for that one, huh? We'd have to be total chumps, huh? Why

else would anyone surrender a fight when they had the numbers to win?

 

And we do have the numbers. We are the majority. The president is back

down to 39% approval rating and dropping again. And even if the majority

did NOT oppose their radical dictator president agenda, and all we need

are 41 votes to filibuster. We HAVE 41 votes. We HAVE 41 votes. We HAVE

41 votes. All we need to win is to exercise the power we have, the will

to win!

 

We'll make you a deal. For the next two weeks, we all repeat these words

as a mantra

 

ALITO IS NOT A DONE DEAL

 

If you just do that, ALL of you, repeat it in your minds until it drives

out the negativity, until it drives out the defeatism, until it drives

out the despair, until it drives out the insidious right wing talking

point which the cable TV propagandists have planted in our own minds.

Just do that one thing, and we promise that we will deliver the victory

for you.

 

If you are listening to a progressive show, and you hear someone say

that it is not worth fighting anymore, IMMEDIATELY call them and chew

them out. Demand that they give out one of the toll free numbers over

the air, 888-818-6641, 888-355-3588 or 800-426-8073. And to do it not in

some " ain't gonna work anyway " tone of voice, but to do it with

enthusiasm and the belief that it WILL work. Demand that they make

 

" WE CAN STOP ALITO "

 

a recurring theme of every one of their shows for the next two weeks. If

they are not giving out the toll free numbers periodically, demand to

find out why. There are other good action pages besides our own but they

should be giving out something. For the purpose of something to be given

out over the air it should be something that is easy to say and remember

like

 

http://www.nocrony.com

 

 

* If you visit a progressive blog and you do not see the toll-free

numbers and links to action pages RIGHT AT THE TOP of the page as

prominently displayed as possible, email them and demand to know

why.

* We control an enormous amount of page space on the internet and it

is NOT being used effectively to advocate for policy change.

* EVERY home page MUST have these toll free numbers and action links

FEATURED on them now without exception.

 

Send the emails to the bloggers, post messages. Ask them,

 

* are you activists or are you not?

* Why are you not helping with the fight?

* Why are you not using your media prominence to help save our

Supreme Court?

* What are you not acting?

* Why have you not dedicated space on your site to the cause?

* Why are you not contributing to the mental energy of believing we

can prevail?

* Do you want to win or not?

 

If we all do just that, a magical thing will take place.

 

* People will begin to believe that we can win.

* People will believe that we can make a difference.

* People will believe that democracy can work.

* And it will work.

* And we will win.

* We promise.

 

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to

be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

Californians can't use the form... Barbara and Dianne want you to go to their

own, respective pages.

Telephone calls are perhaps more effective. I think Barbara is set to vote

against him. DiFi is true to her replublikan masters.
