Rally against the "Nuclear Option"- 4/27/05

Join other like minded people to rally against the "Nuclear Option!" in Chapel Hill on Wednesday, April 27 at 5:00 pm in front of the Franklin Street Post Office in Chapel Hill.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) has threatened to invoke the "nuclear option," a parliamentary power-grab that would break a more than 200-year-old Senate rule allowing senators from the minority party to filibuster out-of-the-mainstream judicial nominees - including those for the Supreme Court!

Support Democrats and moderate Republicans who've come out against the nuclear option. We need to let them know we expect them to fight for an independent judiciary with everything they’ve got.

Peacefully unite with other progressive individuals and organizations to oppose the Senate going nuclear! Please bring signs, friends, and family - everyone is welcome!
