Save The Court !!!!!!!!

We apologize for overwhelming you with emails concerning the Alito nomination over the past 48 hours. If the stakes were not so high we would never have done so. But the battle over the confirmation of Samuel Alito to serve as a life long justice on the U.S. Supreme Court is no ordinary matter, and we in PDA are concerned that if Alito is appointed to the Supreme Court it will compromise the progressive movement and the liberties of every American for decades. In such circumstances we can hold nothing back. The vote on Alito is very close. We need 41 senators to oppose the cloture efforts that are sure to come in response to Kerry's filibuster. If we have 41 senators, Alito's nomination will be defeated and the next nominee will not be as extreme. Even though the odds are long, and confirmation of Alito will be very painful, just think how sweet and transforming the defeat of his nomination will be.

Time is short, the stakes are remarkably high, and this is a rare opportunity for all PDA progressive activists to fill out one simple form, press the send button, and have 60,000 emails opposing the Alito nomination sent to 12 key senators automatically, including Obama, Lieberman, and Feinstein. To do so, please click here http://www.SaveTheCourt.org/AlitoFilibuster.

Then forward this email to anyone you know who is worried that Alito would condone the abuse of power by the president, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and help curtail Congress' ability to protect the civil rights, health, safety, and welfare of the American people for years to come.

We must stand together and act now to prevent Senate Republicans from ramming this nomination through. Time is of the essence. Please help now by clicking on http://www.SaveTheCourt.org/AlitoFilibuster.

Our actions are our only true belongings. They are the ground on which we stand.

Thank you.

In hope, in peace, and in struggle,
