ANTI ALITO RALLY IN PGH TODAY!

Imagine a world where Samuel Alito had the final say about our civil liberties:

Any Pittsburgh woman planning to terminate an unwanted pregnancy would have to report to her husband first, even if that put her at risk for abuse.

Citizens concerned about the environment would have limited access to the courts, and a harder time protecting the Allegheny National Forest.

Minorities, people with disabilities, and workers would face a scary uphill battle protecting their health, safety and their jobs.

The case against Judge Samuel Alito is overwhelming. He should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court. Samuel Alito has not shown himself to be a protector of the rights and freedoms Americans hold dear. Please join with groups protecting civil rights at 9:15 AM on Tuesday, January 17th, to make a stand for justice. We will rally on the steps of the City Council building, gather petition signatures, and then march over to Senator Specter's office to hand-deliver him the more than 50,000 signatures of concerned Pennsylvanians who oppose the confirmation of Samuel Alito.

Where: City Council
