Calls to Elected Officials

Just over a year ago the MAGA Judges on the Supreme Court took away women’s freedom to control their own bodies. This was one of the prime goals of the wealthy, corrupt backers who installed them on the Court by doing things like withholding a nomination from President Obama and rushing a nomination so that President Biden couldn’t have one.

Capturing the Court is a deliberate and effective attack by those who want to take away our freedoms so that they can rule over us. If we cherish those freedoms - among them the freedom to control our own bodies, to choose who we love, to choose our faith, or our gender - we must rebalance the Court.

Unlike term limits, rebalancing is unquestionably constitutional. Unlike ethics reform, rebalancing won’t rely on uncertain enforcement. As happens with most big reforms, it is we, the many, who must push for this change.

We need our elected officials, who we chose to represent us, to follow our lead. They must start now, by co-sponsoring the Judiciary Act of 2023, which will rebalance the Court by adding four seats.

Let’s make some calls!

WE NEED A JUST MAJORITY

Please call our Members of Congress and say:

The MAGA Judges on the Supreme Court were installed by their corrupt backers to rule for the wealthy few. We, the voters, elected you to protect our freedoms, which the MAGA Judges are taking away from us. In order to protect the American people and ensure equal justice under the law, I’m calling on you to support rebalancing the Court by co-sponsoring the Judiciary Act of 2023 (S. 1616 / H.R. 3422).

BREAK THE BLUE SLIP BLOCKADE

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on which both of our senators serve, are voluntarily giving Republicans a veto over many judicial nominations, using an antiquated procedure called the blue slip. Their vetos are harming Americans, particularly in red states, who are denied access to fair and impartial judges. There is no excuse for letting Republicans continue to block the appointment of fair and impartial judges. Read the details here, then please make this call.

Please call your senators and say:

I’m calling to ask the Senator to join with Senators Blumenthal and Hirono by making a public announcement calling for an end to the outdated blue slip practice. This antiquated routine is allowing Republicans to veto vital judicial appointments. Americans in the affected states are suffering for lack of fair and impartial justices. This has to stop. End the anachronistic blue slip procedure now.

CALL FOR CLARENCE THOMAS’S IMPEACHMENT

Please call your Congressman and say:

Justice Clarence Thomas is flagrantly corrupt. Has the Congressman called publicly for his impeachment, yes or no? [If no] Why not?

DECLARE A CLIMATE EMERGENCY

Please call President Biden and say:

The dense smoke choking the Northeast all last week is one more clear sign. President Biden must declare a climate emergency NOW and use all of the powers available to him to rapidly reduce our use of fossil fuels and transition us to clean, renewable energy.
