''Fight the Right next Thursday Night! a plan for Seattle''

From MoveOn: "Karl Rove recently announced that he was setting up a "permanent campaign" -- modeled on Bush/Cheney ‘04 -- to force a sweeping right-wing agenda through Congress. The same corporate donors are donating, the same ground troops are organizing -- even people like the Swift Boat Veterans are back in business, all working together to gut Social Security, confirm extremist judges, and silence the Democrats. It's scary stuff. We've got to stop them, and together, we will. Our secret weapon? The passion and energy of over 3 million Americans, working together to create change, and a strategic plan to focus that energy in the places where it matters most. But it'll take more than phone calls and emails. That's why next Thursday, we're launching our own permanent campaign -- a national network of neighborhood teams that will take our progressive message to every town in the country. It's a deeper way for you to get involved, and it's a route to real victory in 2006 and beyond. We need someone in your neighborhood to host a party so that local MoveOn members can get together, form a team, and make a plan of action to fight for a progressive America in Seattle. We'll make it really easy to host, and past hosts always tell us it's a lot of fun and a great way to meet some neighbors. Can you provide a space in Seattle for this important work to happen? Our first project will be to oppose right-wing judges. President Bush and the Republican leadership are moving quietly to stack the courts, including the Supreme Court, with judges who favor the rights of corporations over everyday Americans. The key to their plan: before the public notices, change Senate rules to silence Democrats and end the long-standing requirement that lifetime judicial nominees have broad support in Congress. If they succeed, it will literally be too late to stop Bush from appointing Supreme Court judges who will set efforts to protect the environment, health, civil liberties and workers back 70 years. And we have less than a month to stop them." Go here for details.
