....Minutes after the nomination was announced, NARAL shot an e-mail to 30,000 "rapid responders" nationwide, exhorting them to bombard senators with phone calls and write letters to editors of their local newspapers. About 800,000 other supporters were set to receive a more general plea for action. NARAL banner ads began appearing last night on a variety of Internet sites pushing the group's message about abortion rights.
At People for the American Way, staff worked late into the evening drafting e-mails telling nearly 800,000 members and activists to call senators in battleground states. Kristin Bateman, who heads the "war room," was putting together call lists and writing scripts for volunteers to follow when contacting fellow activists this morning. It was shaping up to be a late night.
"I have to get ready for morning," she said.

The West needs to stop worrying about "doing enough for diversity."
No one has ever shown me how diversity, in and of itself, is necessarily a good thing.
I define multi-culturalism as a seperation of cultures and people, as opposed to the original American concept of a "melting pot."
Multi-culturalists blast the idea of a melting pot.
AMERICANS celebrate their rich heritages. We are the ingredients in the melting pot. It's a good recipe.
And non-Irish, non-Mexicans, and non-Spaniards celebrate those days as well, ie, a melting pot ;)
Indeed they do!
Looks, hair, teeth......short on brains.
;)
According to them, the melting pot is actually a salad bowl.
How delightful.
Yes, exactly, and traditional western Christian culture doesn't belong in the "salad."
