MoveOn.org parties this Thursday, March 10th


"Fight the Right" this at a MoveOn PAC house party.

The issue du jour: Bush's court appointments.

From the email that you should have gotten already (if you didn't, stop by, make a donation and get on the mailing list):
Your actions this week could determine the composition of the Supreme Court 30 years from now.

Last week, we told you that President Bush is trying to force through 20 right-wing judicial nominees. But this fight is also about something much bigger: whether the rest of America will have any say at all over who ends up on the Supreme Court. Republican leaders are trying to use a parliamentary trick so extreme it's called the "nuclear option" to end one of our most basic democratic traditions—the requirement that lifetime judicial nominees have broad support in Congress. The result: justices far outside the mainstream, who will favor corporations over citizens' rights and could undo generations of progress.

We have a plan to stop them: MoveOn members will team up in every town in America to spread the word about the Republican leadership's stealth attack on the judiciary and demand our senators stop it. But we may only have a few weeks to turn the tide. Will you come to a party on Thursday where people in your town can make a plan to save our courts?


Details (and a ZIP-based party locator) are here.
On Thursday, March 10, attend a party near you launching our new action teams to fight President Bush's extreme agenda and elect progressives to Congress. On issue after issue, Bush and the Republican leaders in Congress put their corporate donors before ordinary people, but we aim to fight back—starting with an urgent effort to keep Bush from stacking the Supreme Court and lower courts with right-wing judges. From there we'll move to Social Security privatization and the war in Iraq, while crafting a positive agenda to help us win back Congress in 2006.
