Tell your senator (i.e. Feinstein) to filibuster on Alito, says NOW (Nat'l Org for Women)

Without a Filibuster, A No Vote is a Yes Vote on Alito

Alito Must Not Be Confirmed - Demand a Filibuster Today

Due to the current balance of power in the Senate (55 Republicans, 44 Democrats), we do not have the necessary 51 "no" votes to defeat Alito outright. So the only way for senators to block confirmation is for them to launch a filibuster — which can only be ended if 60 of the 100 senators vote to stop the filibuster and proceed to a vote on the nomination. In other words, IF there is a filibuster, 41 senators can block the nomination. But without a filibuster, those same 41 votes would not be sufficient to stop Alito — so the "no" votes are meaningless in terms of the final outcome, unless there is a filibuster.

Make the message to your senators clear: Our nation needs them to do more than vote no. They must support a filibuster in order to prevent Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Please call your Senators today and ask them to support a filibuster in opposition to this nomination. A no vote without a filibuster is a meaningless gesture.
