Call your Senators about Gorsuch (whether Senators are D or R)

Call your Senators and tell them to stop Gorsuch.
Especially Democratic Senators.

Good points to hit:
- Stolen seat (no vote for a year!)
- Giving in to a bully (McConnell) just makes them stronger. You must fight back to prevent this from happening again!
- Election is tainted because of Putin interference. Must wait for Trump to be cleared before appointment.
- Gorsuch is pro-business and anti working class - exactly what voters and town halls are now rejecting with healthcare.
- Gorsuch will destroy campaign finance rules, which will make it even harder for Dems to be reelected.

Ask:
- Join other Senators and walk out of hearings. Make a stink about the stolen seat.


If you are in California, call Feinstein. She's key for this vote.

There is a group in DC that is hand delivering letters to Senators. If you'd rather write than call, send me DU mail and I will forward to that group for delivery. Even a few lines help.

We told them that not only do we want them to oppose the nomination, but that we want them to block it....forever if necessary.

President of the United States would win the US 2016 election.

I do realize many allege that he's the most powerful man in the world.

But isn't allowing him to pick US Supreme Court justices going just a wee bit too far?
