I’m posting this as a diary so y’all can hotlist for easy reference if you like. Please let me know if you find any errors so I can correct them.
Here’s a link to the For Justice Day 12 diary which has links to the other 11 days, in case you need more ammunition. (What can I say, you guys? Amazing work. Thanks.)
And to today’s NYTimes editorial, Judging Samuel Alito. Lays out what’s at stake very well.

I tried to make the ones with email addresses rather than web forms into links that open your email app with a new message ready to go, but failed somehow. I was using “mailto” but I must have been missing part of it.

Fixed now! Thanks, Andi for the code!

It was very little but I’m glad to have made a contribution to your effort.
You rock girlfriend!!
Making it very easy to get started.
This is a diary that needs to be hotlisted to keep handy during the next week! 🙂
Excellent resource!
Excellent. Thank you.
Adding my thanks!
Thanks for all the easy-access info, Janet. Makes being a good citizen so effortless, esp. on this important issue!
Almost as important as writing the judicial committee is flooding the media with letters opposing Alito. Tell them what you think and keep shouting it until they listen!

there’s also a diary up at the big orange about sen. graham (of the judiciary committee) attending a coaching meeting with alito so he’ll answer all the questions “right.” anyhoo, call graham and give him an earful. if you want more info, it’s the diary entitled “WTF!?!” sorry to be so lame about this, but i’m not on my computer and thus, no firefox tabs and switching back and forth is just too annoying.

and don’t forget susanhu’s warrior diary from last night – http://www2.boomantribune.com/story/2006/1/8/193012/6982
and the generic overview Anti-Alito diary, where we tried to collect all the dirt in one pile:

i’m so pissed i can’t watch the hearings.

Heard on BBC World radio ::
Alito is a walking Constitutional Amendment
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”
