Petition to filibuster

I received a generic email from JohnKerry.com this morning. Here is what this email stated:

"Dear Paul,

Yesterday, Senator Ted Kennedy and I told our colleagues that we supported a filibuster of Judge Alito's nomination for the Supreme Court. And we weren't alone. But the bottom line is that it takes more than two or three people to filibuster successfully. It's not "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." If you want to stop Judge Alito from becoming Justice Alito, use your own email list and organize. We can't just preach to our own choir. We need to prove to everyone - from our friends and neighbors to our fellow Senators - that the American people know Judge Alito will take our country in the wrong direction, and they expect something to be done about it.

So I'm asking you to join Senator Kennedy, me, and concerned citizens across America who are signing this petition to support a filibuster. If there was ever a time to forward an email on to friends and family, this is it. One way or another, we're going to find out in the next few days if Judge Alito is going to become Justice Alito. You know where I stand. The time to make your voice heard is now. So please sign this filibuster petition and get as many friends as you can to do the same."

And here is my reply:

If the majority of Democratic Senators do not take a stand against this nomination, I WILL abandon this party and support third-party candidates who have a MORAL backbone.

These are the most dangerous times our nation, and our World, have ever seen. The time for niceties and political patty-fingers is over. Aren't you, as individual members of Congress, and as a whole party, ever going to get tired of being mocked and ridiculed? The Republican party has painted you all as a bunch of quaint and dainty milquetoasts.

I'm not saying we have to stoop to their disgustingly immoral level. I personally believe in non-violence, but NOT pacifism!!!

Take a stand for what is right and just. Or get out of the way, and let someone else do it instead!!!
