Call Harkin and Urge Him to Support a Filibuster
Mike Ganzeveld from the Green Tea Blog posted this in the Blog for Iowa comments yesterday:
Tom Harkin is on the fence right now
trying to decided whether or not he should vote for a potential
filibuster of judicial nominee and reactionary statist Samuel Alito. At
this moment Tom Harkin thinks that a filibuster would be a “waste of
time.” Ted Kennedy informed bloggers and activists [yesterday] morning in a
coference call that supporting a filibuster would cost political
capital because of fear of the “obstructionist” label.
We need to call
Tom Harkin this weekend and let him know that slinking off in defeat is
a helluva lot worse than being labeled an obstructionist by the usual
suspects on the Sunday morning cable news yap-fests. We need to let him
know that it's important to future Americans that a man like Samuel
Alito *is* obstructed from taking a LIFETIME position on the Supreme
Court. If you have already called, faxed, thanks! If you haven't, then I
implore you to go ahead and take a minute to do so. Best wishes!
Senator Tom Harkin
