The Vichy Democrats blog is urging Senators who have misgivings about Alito’s fitness for the Supreme Court but can’t support a filibuster on the Alito nomination to abstain from the cloture vote. Some guesses about who those (possibly abstinent?) Senators might be are listed.
I hate to tell everyone this, but Vichy Dems ain’t done yet. Not by a long shot.
Today we’ve got our POST-FILIBUSTER GAME PLAN, PART I up and in play. It’s simple: contact every Senator who did vote our way, repeatedly, at their DC and district offices and emails, and say “thank you.” Good manners, yes. Reinforces good behavior, yes. And it also reinforces the reality, new to many politicians, that there are substantial numbers of voters our here who PAY ATTENTION to WHO voted HOW. We don’t just groan at the outcome. We analyze it, and dole out rewards and punishments.
So calling and saying thank you — a lot of times — with the same sort of doggedness we possessed before the cloture vote — is an important part of our advocacy plan to take back our Party, our Congress and our nation. You’re sick and tired of making phone calls? Me, too. Now get thee to http://vichydems.blogspot.com and do it anyway.
Thanks!
Thanks!
