MoveOn: Coming to a City Near You

MoveOn REALLY doesn't want John Roberts to be confirmed.

Members were prepared to gather petitions in the event "the President nominated an extremist to the Supreme Court."

I'd like to know how MoveOn defines "extremist." My guess is any Bush nominee would fit the definition.

MoveOn.org News Advisory:

On Thursday, July 21, citizens across the country will be in front of grocery stores, restaurants, community centers and on street corners gathering signatures to urge the Senate to oppose the nomination of John Roberts to the US Supreme Court.

"John Roberts is a right-wing corporate lawyer who sides with big business against individual rights time and time again," said Ben Brandzel, Advocacy Director of MoveOn.org Political Action.

The petition drive follows up over 1000 house parties held the weekend of July 8-10 where MoveOn members formed rapid response teams that would spring into action if the President nominated an extremist to the Supreme Court.

The petition events, orchestrated by the 3.5 million-member organization MoveOn.org Political Action, will occur just two days after President Bush nominated Judge Roberts.
