Dear Kevin,
Sign our petition and protect free speech in the Senate!
www.democrats.org/freespeech
Governor Howard Dean wrote to you this week about the threat to free speech in the Senate. Nearly 200,000 of us immediately weighed in against the Republican push to throw away the rules and principles of our democracy. We won't let them pack our courts with lifetime appointments for right-wing extremists.
The massive reaction helped beat back this power grab this week, but this is not over.
They reportedly plan to keep pressing over the next few weeks until a showdown in April. One Republican Senator was quoted yesterday saying, "I think it is imminent. At some point we are going to have this fight, and I am ready."
Please sign this petition to protect your right to be heard:

The fringe Republican leadership has not only lost touch with reality, they have lost touch with democracy.
For our system to work everyone has to believe in certain core values. But Republicans continually abandon those values to win at any cost.
They fanatically pursue their agenda by any means -- undermining free speech, governing by lies and distortions, even keeping people away from the voting booth. This pattern is no accident.
Only you can stop them:

Thank you for committing to stop this power grab. And thank you for believing in our democracy.
Sincerely, Save Our Courts Campaign

The majority party is a "fringe" group?
This stuff is laughable.
And, where were you 200,000 when the the Florida Supreme Court usurped the State Constitution during the Presidential election of 2000, hmm?
Actions speak louder than lying, rat words
What a bunch of losers.
I believe they call that 'mirroring' when you believe everyone else does things the way you do. Apparently, their minds just cannot conceive of or accept defeat. But hey, I feel their pain. Been there, done that, for over 40 years. 1992 and 1996 are fresh in my memory.
It is ESSENTIAL that we hang on Hillie every shred of this left wing extremism!
Hang obstructionism and filibustering on HRC, Kerry, Heid, and any D senator you may have at every opportunity. Use their quotes about bipartisanship and working together for America against them.

These people wouldn't know a core value if it walked up and bit them on the behind.
Nearly 200,000 of us immediately weighed in against the Republican push to ... pack our courts.
I wonder if these signatures actually exist ... If they do, I wonder if they're the same signatures (like on a giant rubber stamp). Oh, there I go again ... so skeptical ... shame on me.
Shame on me too. That was my immediate thought.
200,000 out of 280 MILLION Americans.
Somebody do the math - I'm too lazy - see my tagline.
I always have my calculator near when reading FR, but this decimal is so small my calculator can't handle it. The best I can tell it is seven one thousandths of one percent. If you throw out the illegals, felons, and multiple signers the percent falls precipitously.
Cartman: Please let me lick your tears of unfathomable pain. Oh, yum-yum . . .
That's kinda what I thought.
I couldn't care less what the homos want and they make up 1-2% of the population, depending on which survey you choose to believe.
What makes the Rats think we care that seven one thousandths of the population think - expecially when they are treasonous Rats?
The minority party has gotten away with their judicial blockade for four years and I am really worried (convinced) that they will control the majority party for another four years.
