Petition to Stop Sam Alito Nomination for Supreme Court "Justice"

Feel like there's nothing you can do to counter the recent devastating changes to the Supreme Court? Does it make you nervous that we're moving from diversity to all white, all male, all Ivy League, all Catholic Supreme Court?

Here's the least you can do: Sign moveon.org petition today:

TO: Your Senators
FROM: (Your Name and Email)
SUBJECT: Stop the nomination of Samuel Alito
__________

Dear Senator,

The nomination of Samuel Alito poses a grave threat to the protections Americans count on, including basic workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights. We call on the Senate to stand up for all of us and reject the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court of the United States.


Here's what I had to add:

This time of war is precisely the time to protect our freedom, and one of the tenets of freedom is our civic freedom of our bodies and the basic protections of the citizen from government oppression. Sam Alito is on the wrong side of these essential freedoms that must be protected at all costs. Diversity must be protected on the Supreme Court. Sam Alito is the wrong symbol of justice and the wrong nominee for our country at this time. His nomination must be denied.
