RED ALERT from Democracy for America: CALL CHUCK SCHUMER

RED ALERT: Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings start first thing Tuesday morning.

This is our LAST CHANCE before Tuesday's hearings to demand that Sen. Chuck Schumer deliver 49 "NO" votes against Kavanaugh -- to increase pressure on flippable GOP Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to cast the final two "NO" votes necessary to defeat him.

As Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer's job is to hold the Senate Democrats together as a caucus -- especially at moments that will fundamentally determine our country's future for decades to come.

DFA members have spent weeks calling every Senate Democrat. Now it's time to demand that Chuck Schumer do his job and get all 49 in line, unified against Donald Trump's extreme choice.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. No matter where you live, we need you to get on the phone and call Sen. Chuck Schumer right now.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1) Call Sen. Schumer's Senate office in Washington, DC: (202) 224-6542

Stuck on hold and want to talk to a human? Call Sen. Schumer's New York offices.

2) Tell the Senate staffer to give the following message to Sen. Schumer:

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm calling on Sen. Schumer to deliver the 49 Senate Democrat "NO" votes against Brett Kavanaugh necessary to increase pressure on Sens. Murkowski and Collins to vote to defeat him.

Will Sen. Schumer stand up and lead the fight to stop Donald Trump's takeover of the Supreme Court, before it's too late?

3) Click here to report your call so we can track how many calls were made -- and the response.

That's it!

Thank you for taking just a few minutes of your time today, joining thousands of people like you in calling Chuck Schumer on this critically important day.

But we are going to need more.

I don't know if Schumer can keep them together. We need some additional damning information or a really shitty/shady and brilliant procedural move.
