You don’t have to be resigned to what seems
like Alito’s inevitable confirmation! Whether you have lobbied your
hearts out, written anguished letters, or silently fumed at the
newspapers and television reports, now is the time to take to the
streets! We have all had enough of quietly watching as the confirmation
of Samuel Alito goes unchallenged! Now the Senate Judiciary Committee
has a session tomorrow at 9AM at the Dirksen Senate Office Building
closed off from those who are outraged at the direction that not only
the Supreme Court but also the entire society is headed.
Samuel Alito is a man who never met a
wiretap he didn’t love. This is a man who has been working to overturn
Roe v. Wade for twenty years. This is a man who believes the
President’s word is law. Let’s show the world that we refuse to be
silent when the lives of millions are at stake. As the Call for the
World Can’t Wait states, “Silence and paralysis are not acceptable.
That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop you will learn or be
forced to accept!” Millions of people are outraged by this and looking
for someone to stand up for them. This has to be us!
Think about what it would mean if a mass
group of people showed up to the Dirksen Senate Office Building to
demand “No to Alito! Bush Step Down!” This would give hope to those
millions that there is something that can be done! Bring signs, bring
noisemakers, and bring your best chants! World Can’t Wait is calling
you to be at the Dirksen Senate Office Building at 9AM tomorrow,
January 17th, to demand “No to Alito! Bush Step Down and Take Your
Program with You!” Meet us at 9AM at the public entrance of the Dirksen
Senate Office Building on 2nd St NE between C St NE and Constitution
Ave. Send this to everyone who is outraged at the pending confirmation
of Samuel Alito.
