I am not sure why but the last week or so I have been receiving Email from Ted. This one arrived today:

Dear Friend,

Nothing makes us stronger than the values of equality and justice that Americans throughout our nation's history have fought tirelessly to preserve and advance. Now our commitment to these values is being tested once again: Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court threatens the fundamental rights and freedoms we cherish, and we must do everything we can to protect them.

It is for this reason that Senator Kerry and I are doing everything we can to keep Samuel Alito off the Supreme Court. The crucial vote will come this afternoon, when Senators vote on whether to end debate and vote on the nomination.

Samuel Alito's troubling record speaks for itself. The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings confirmed our worst fears, and we have to take the strongest possible stand against him.

Americans deserve better. We need Supreme Court Justices whose commitment to protecting our rights and freedoms is beyond dispute -- a Court whose members transcend partisan politics to inspire Americans, not divide us.

The vote by the Senate on a Supreme Court Justice is second only to the vote to send our men and women to war.

I hope you will join me and do everything you can to protect the values that unite us as Americans.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Edward M. Kennedy

P.S. Too often, Americans take our rights for granted -- and that's never been more dangerous. Remind yourself of what's at stake and then make your case to others. End of Teds Email

I just got an extraordinary challenge from a staffer in Jeff Bingaman's office:

2000 calls against cloture to his office in the next 20 minutes and Bingaman will be goddamned impressed enough to reconsider his Yes vote on Cloture.

Followed by this!

I'm thinking about signing up on du today, just so I can read their rants and seeing them explode in 2006 when they lose the election(again). we seriously need some people then to monitor the suicide rate.

This whole thing just goes to show what happens when we make noise.

We didn't sit back and allow Meiers to be passed through.

I have not read the entire thread, but I gotta tell ya' that watching Uncle Teddy show his abundant arse, today, was absolutely priceless. I thought (dare I say "hoped"?) that his melon-sized head would explode: BAM!!!

And now a word from our REAL Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.


You will stay right where you are on the thread.
Please take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.

The other side is really coming unglued about this. Here is what one said: "[That] is not what we see here on Democratic Republic".

The author was severely chastised for this typo (Freudian slip).
