Defeat the judicial takeover by the right-wing

More from MoveOn:

As soon as tomorrow, a few radical Republican leaders will move to break the rules of the Senate, seize absolute power over judicial appointments, and stack the courts with extreme judges.
Whether they succeed could depend on Senator Arlen Specter from Pennsylvania. If you know any Pennsylvania residents, can you ask them to call Senator Specter?

These judges would serve for life, threatening the protection of our environment, our right to privacy, and even basic workers' rights like minimum wage and the 40-hour work week. Senator Specter is under intense pressure from the Republican leadership and needs to hear from constituents right away.

Below is information to help Pennsylvania residents make these crucial calls:


Sen. Arlen Specter
DC Phone: 202-224-4254
You don't have to be an expert to call. Here's a simple script for Pennsylvania residents to follow:


Hello. I live in Pennsylvania, and I would like to urge Senator Specter to oppose the "nuclear option" to eliminate the right to filibuster judicial nominations. I believe in fair judges, and checks and balances. Thank you very much.

Then tell us you've called:
