#STOP KAVANAUGH
Write. Call. Stop By.
SCOTUS Nominee Brett Kavanaugh is dangerous on so many levels:
We cannot let our highest court be infiltrated by Kavanaugh, a man with extremist positions, who has been nominated by a president who daily, almost hourly, seems closer to impeachment.
Contact your Senators today, tomorrow and every day. We must make our voices heard.
- His views on equal rights for all, the environment, the economy and education are far right and extremist.
- He believes that a president should not even be investigated for crimes.
- Oddly, he’s been nominated by a president that has been under investigation for crimes almost since the day he took office.

While many of our elected officials are leaning as expected, in Missouri, unfortunately, Senator McCaskill has been reported to be "waffling" on a "No" vote. She needs to hear from us that this is not a place for compromise. We must demand that she stand strong against Kavanaugh.
There's a reason that Trump supports Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. If on the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh may side with Trump's lawyers to protect him from investigation and indictment. Will Kavanaugh be Trump’s game card to Get Out of Jail Free?
Kavanaugh has said that a sitting President should not be prosecuted for crimes. Not even investigated--which means the President doesn't have to answer questions about possible crimes. Kavanaugh's hinted that a sitting President shouldn't be sued either.
- Kavanaugh has suggested it was wrong to make Nixon turn over the Watergate tapes.
- He's hinted that it was wrong for Bill Clinton to be questioned by Paula Jones' lawyers in her sexual harassment case.
- He says the only solution for a President's crimes is to impeach him.
Right.
We know how that goes if the Republicans remain in control of Congress. Meanwhile Special Counsel Robert Mueller wants to question Trump about campaign collusion with Russia in 2016. Their negotiations have stalled. If Mueller subpoenas Trump, the case may very well go to the Supreme Court for a decision.
Kavanaugh has shown extreme views about Presidential power and immunity. This is a dangerous characteristic for a Supreme Court justice in these times. Please ask your members to call your Senators to vote against Kavanaugh's nomination.
Here's a draft script to get you started calling you Sentators:
Hi, my name is [name] and I’m a constituent from [zip code]. I’m calling to ask the Senator to vote No on the nomination of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. I'm worried that Kavanaugh believes a sitting President is above the law.If he's on the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh might prevent more investigation into Trump's possible crimes and wrongdoing.
Make a call, write a letter, make a visit, and fight Kavanaugh's nomination.
Make a Call!
Here's a sample of what to say. The more personal, the better.
Hello, this is [your name] and I'm a constituent of [name of Member of Congress] and live in [city, state and zip code]. I am calling about [name one of the issues from below]. This is important to me, because [list a couple of reasons that stand out]. Thank you for your time.
