You Have The Power

We just got another Senator (Paul Sarbanes) to support the filibuster. Listen to me: This is not pointless. We went from one supporter to 14 in two days.
Senators have turned off their phones because they were ringing off the hooks, their voicemail boxes are full and their fax machines are running out of paper.
You have the power.
Use it. Call. Lots of ways to contact them here.
On Monday, we’ll be calling their state offices. I’ll post a link to those offices then.
I’m hoping–praying–that this anti-Alito thing gets some traction.
Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking of this:
We all know what Bush is going to say Tuesday night, and how he’ll say it. What’s more we know that immediately afterward Karl “turd blossom” Rove will get the propaganda machinery running at full speed to paint a rosy picture for that brain-dead 42 percent of the electorate who eagerly swallow this Fascist filth whole.
There’s one way to affect the news coverage of the upcoming Bush/Rove tap dance. And that is when Bush begins his SOTU lies, every Democrat in the chamber should simply get up and walk out. No shouting, no banner waving. Just a silent and dignified protest against Bush’s attempt to destroy the founding fathers’ conception of balance of power, judicial review, and congressional oversight.
Yes, I know. This will never happen. Bush will blather, and the conventional media’s stenographers will just repeat his bullshit as if it isn’t bullshit.
And then back to business as usual.
