Open Letter to Sen. Reid
Dear Senator Reid,
I live in a state that is represented in the Senate by two Republicans. My voice remains unheard when it come to the nomination of Judge Alito to the Supreme Court.
Therefore, I am writing to let you know that I support, indeed encourage, you to do whatever is necessary to prevent the appointment of Judge Alito to the Court. As the Judge will likely have the 51 votes needed for his confirmation, this means that the Democrats have only the filibuster option in the arsenal.
Use it, please. Even if unsuccessful, those of us here in the red states who are fighting the good fight need to know that you are willing to go the distance with us. Don't allow the Republicans and their media allies to continue to depict Democrats as spineless and unprincipled. There's a time to stand up, and this is it.
Thank you,
Barry Ragin

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.
