24_Hour Filibuster Protesting 'Nuclear Option'

Have you got sixty seconds to spare?

Of course you do.

So do me a favor: seriously consider how you will react when the Republican-dominated Congress uses the 'Nuclear Option' to approve judges to the highest courts in this country, judges who have been nominated simply because they will advance a right-wing, conservative Christian agenda.

Think about it.

Then go to the People's Filibuster and register to be a reader (or just lend support) during our 24 hour filibuster on at the Joseph Moakley Court House in Boston.

If everyone spoke for just sixty seconds I would need 8640 voices to cover that 24 our period. If you just want to express your frustration or -in addition to signing up for the event, place your sixty second speech on the 24-hour filibuster blog at: http://www.24HourFilibuster.blogspot.com

Then ask a friend to do the same.

We did it! Over 400 registrants, with speakers for every minute of every hour of 24 straight hours of filibustering, interrupted only by a national rally (200 participants despite the driving rain) on the steps of the Moakley Federal Court House in Boston.
