We're down to the wire-and we're going to need IMMEDIATE response to stop Senator Frist when he attempts to trigger the "nuclear option" to shut down debate about judicial nominees. So, we're trying something new and groundbreaking-and we need you to be part of it.

It's called Mass Immediate Response (MIR) and it allows thousands of people to contact the Senate and make their voices heard all at the same time.

Here's how it works: As soon as Senate Republicans trigger the "nuclear option," we'll send a text message to your cell phone. Embedded in that text message is a link to a Senate phone number based on your state. With the push of a couple buttons, your call - along with thousands of others - goes right through to the corridors of power demanding preservation of the filibuster. (Very simple instructions about how this will work on your phone model will be made available when you sign up.)

Join our massive immediate response:
www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/autogen.aspx?oid=18708

This is a brand new technology, and this is the first time it is being used for activism on a large scale. (Don't worry: we will NEVER send your cell phone spam or disclose your number to anyone else - and if we use MIR in the future, you will have to opt-in again on that specific campaign in order to receive messages.)

Picture it: by pushing the button, tens of thousands of American patriots are making their voices heard in Washington at exactly the same time, flooding the Senate with simultaneous calls to save the filibuster.

Please join this great innovation in speaking straight to those in power. Go to www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/autogen.aspx?oid=18708 to be notified to act the instant Bill Frist tries to pull the trigger.

Thanks. We look forward to texting you.

Sincerely,
Ralph G. Neas
President
