The battle in the Senate over Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court has begun. Alito's potential appointment raises concerns in many areas, from reproductive and civil rights to the environment and corporate powers. Simply put, this man's positions stand in stark contrast to the principles and vision that TrueMajority members stand for.

The fight to stop Alito's confirmation in the Senate is being led by our friends at People for the American Way, and you can join in by signing TrueMajority's petition (text below), which calls on senators to oppose his nomination.

There are over 50 million of us who share these concerns, but we've ended up fragmenting ourselves because each of us can only concentrate on one or two issues. Or in the case of some of us, we've just felt powerless. TrueMajorityACTION has already brought together over 150,000 of us, making us a powerful force in the capital.

We hope you will join us.
