Dear Senator (insert last name):

I am writing to urge you to oppose the confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito. Judge Alito’s written opinions as expressed in decisions such as: (1) Bray v. Marriott Hotels, 1997 indicates a woeful lack of understanding of minority rights that could set civil rights back decades; (2) Nathanson v. Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1991 suggests that Judge Alito has either disdain or a true lack of understanding for Americans with disabilities, (3) in Doe v. Groody, 2004, Judge Alito actually wrote he though the strip search of a child who happened to live in the same residence of a suspected criminal was perfectly fine. These are just a few cases, but I have researched far more that indicates to me that Judge Alito, while undoubtedly intelligent and capable, and would place the interests of business above the health, welfare and economic interests of the vast majority of Americans in the middle-class. While this may be preferable to those who own major corporations, it is not at all in the best interest of the majority of your constituents.

Senator (your Senator’s name), issues such as equal protection, Amendments IV, V, XIV, XV, XIX, and XXIV to the Constitution, the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any civil right hard won by the minority populace cannot be taken lightly. The Supreme Court is a co-equal branch of government, not an arm for any political interest. This appointment it effects more than the right to privacy (which is what was decide by Roe V. Wade, not abortion rights), it effects whether the common people will have equal representation with companies and powerful interests groups. I must tell you, as it stands, the average American cannot see much representation from Washington.

Sincerely,

(your name)
