Received from Progress Now, and I agree:

As you read this, James Dobson and the conservative social warriors are marshalling their forces and raising the money to sustain their fight. They've waited over thirty years since Roe v. Wade for this opportunity, and they are determined to see President Bush pack the Supreme Court.

We know that President Bush will nominate a radical right judge. We know that Republican Senate leadership will push for confirmation. And we know this will likely come down to a vote on invoking the "nuclear option" to circumvent the confirmation process.

We cannot allow James Dobson to drown out our voices. We need your involvement and support to apply constant pressure and help moderate senators like Ken Salazar stand against the tyranny of the right.

    What the left and right need is a real idea, Look to FDR, Or this non nation will have a third world life for 90 percent of the population. you will get some guy down the road like osama or villa running the show, don't be fools see it for what it is, and remember the words of oscar wilde that talks about laws and the poor and rich. vote for FDR'S Ideals or become a third world non nation with millions in prison, oh i forget, we have that now.

    Of course the religious extremists and the far right are mobilizing, they have been prepared for this moment for quite sometime. In contrast those of us on the "left" are playing defense. They knew along time ago they were going to get some type of payback, and we just sat back, quibbled over whether or not Howard Dean is the right guy for the DNC, blasted Karl Rove and every other kook for making disparaging remarks about "liberals" and Demmy-crats, and generally avoided real issues in favor of taking on championing "leftists" like John Kerry. Our noise machine is very underfunded and underdeveloped compared to the national outlets those on Dobson's side have. Look at how much air time conservative GOoPers get on all the 24 hr. "news" channels and then you will begin to realize just how far in the hole the sane people in this country really are. Dobson, Falwell, and all of the other evangelical pseudo-fascists have just been biding their time for a day like this and now we will see what they are really capable of, and it won't be pretty.
