This weekend, Republican Senate leader Bill Frist will speak at a
far-right rally where speakers will portray "Democrats as 'against people
of faith' for blocking President Bush's [judicial] nominees."1 And
hundreds of right-wing groups are pushing their members to be even more
involved. The conservative group Progress for America announced today
they're raising $5 million to run pro-"nuclear option" ads. We've got to
match them.

We've only got 7 days left before a likely vote and this weekend will make
a critical difference. The Republicans are quietly organizing their base,
but they hope to push this issue through without the rest of the public
noticing, so one of our best strategies is raising the profile of this
issue. This weekend we'll do that by handing out flyers with senators'
phone numbers, along with window signs, in neighborhoods across the
country.

Often MoveOn actions take place behind the keyboard, and in-person actions
take time. But even a single hour this weekend, from thousands of you, can
make a huge difference, and we wouldn't be asking you to do this if it
weren't a crucial strategy to win.

Your state is a top tier target on this issue with Sen. Specter,
and the right is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads
and organizing to apply pressure. They need Sen. Specter to fall back in
line with party leaders and support this grab for absolute power, to
guarantee that extremist judges get through, no matter what the price.
We're a couple votes away from winning, and at the top of the target list
you'll see Sen. Specter, so your participation can make even a bigger difference
this time.
