Please do what you can to rally your colleagues to take action against this assault on the balance of democracy in America. It is disappointing that the common people of this nation have to go to such great lengths and suffer such embarrassments in order to get our political leaders to do the right thing. Your efforts to stand up against this nonsense are appreciated. Please know that I oppose the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court of the United States.           Thank you, Don Conoscenti / Chicago IL
