I have confirmed reports that Kerry wants to filibuster Alito, and he is talking to his colleagues to round up the 41 votes he needs.Shaker VL emails that a senior aide has noted, “People aren’t engaged in this fight… The reality is this isn’t something that American people are calling in droves about. We’re getting more calls in on NSA spying than we are on Alito.”
So get calling the Alito 8 who won’t support a filibuster (contact info at the link) and call Senator Kerry to thank him and encourage him to stick with it: (202) 224-2742.
Just pick up the phone and make a difference!
