Reader Bob Boldt suggests leaving a message for your senator with the Capitol switchboard: 888-355-3588 or 888-818-6641. There are quite a few new options listed here.
I would suggest calling or faxing offices directly. Yes, this job can be a hassle; right now, those lines are busier than Satan in Vegas. But look at it this way: Making the attempt cannot hurt, and may well help.
At Daily Kos, a contributor named judibrowni compiled a terrific list of "swinger" senators and their contact info. If all else fails, contac the DNC -- see the final entry below. I'm sure Judi won't mind if I repeat her data here:

Washington, local phone and fax numbers for all Senators, with notes on which Dems need nudging toward filibuster: http://www.nocrony.com/...
Let's not forget to hit the Senators where we might cynically think they really care - their campaign offices. Additionally, when we call the PACs it doesn't matter if we're non-residents!
Joseph I. Lieberman (D- CT), (860) 244-2006
Thomas R. Carper (D- DE), (302) 328-5774
Evan Bayh (D- IN), 202-326-0450

You can also send that message to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (202-224-2447) and the Democratic National Committee (202-863-8000).

Please while the Republicans have outnumbered the Dems and have the votes to confirm Alito, all the democrats can do is to support a filibuster, that is all we have to defeat Alito.
By the way, has anyone else looked at Alito's face and also seen that he looks like a pedophile? That you absolutely don't want to have your kids anywhere near this man?
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his rocks off molesting young kids, in fact, young boys.
This man is bad news for the future of the United States and democracy in general.
He will vote along the same lines as Thomas and Scalia and do everything he can to change this country into some rightwing dictatorship and rubberstand all that BushCo proposes.
Please please please, if any senators or their immediate staff/family reads this, please I beg of you to ask them to please vote AGAINST Alito. He may be eminently qualified jurist but he will not approach the bench with an open mind.
thank you
anonymous ,your comment would have twice the effect if it was half as long ,as in leaving out paragraphs 2 and 3 .Its a bit like saying Bush looks like a moron so impeach him. It would be too subjective and thats not the objective .
MMIIXX
Alito was way over the line when he ruled to defend the right of the government to strip search 10 year old girls and children.
how would you like your children to be strip searched at the whim of the government?
What does this say about alito? He made this decision just last year.
Alito Believes in Strip-Searching Ten Year Old Girls [UPDATED]
Just last year Alito upheld the unauthorized STRIP SEARCH OF A TEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/10/31/103834/50
Courtesy of the Progress Report:
ALITO SUPPORTS UNAUTHORIZED STRIP SEARCHES: In Doe v. Groody, Alito agued that police officers had not violated constitutional rights when they strip searched a mother and her ten-year-old daughter while carrying out a search warrant that authorized only the search of a man and his home. [Doe v. Groody, 2004]
From the DailyKos:
I'm the father of a 7-month old girl, and I will NOT live in an America where the government can force my daughter to strip and be searched, unclothed, at its whim.
I have no doubt that most Americans feel the same way.
Alito is a disgusting pervert who believes that innocent ten-year old girls should be forced to take off their clothes at the whim of the government.

Shame on the 18 Democrat Senators who voted along with the 55 Republican Senators to end against an extended discussion (cloture), thus putting an end to a filibuster.
What is this coming to when the electorate knows less about an extremist rightwing candidate for the supreme court than they do about Jessica Simpson?
How incredibly ugly.
we have lost the battle.
shame on all those damn Republicans who helped steal the last Presidential election so that Bush could put in an extremist candidate like Alito.
We are doomed.
It is now really time to get the FUC*K out of this country and get those exit visas lined up.
I feel like an idiot to think, to even entertain that the Dems had a chance of defeating alito.
Which democrats voted for Thomas for the Supreme Court years ago????
