Cell Phones for Justice

I just came across an interesting program organized by the People For the American Way. They are organizing a Mass Immediate Response using text messaging.

As I understand it, the minute that Rehnquist announces his retirement (or dies - you never know) they will start a rolling wave of text messages to their subscribers. The text messages will state where to call and what to say. I'm assuming it will be something like, "Call the president and tell him we want Oprah to be the next Chief Justice."

MIR will also allow them to "slowly roll out calls to our targets, keeping a steady pressure over the course of a day or a week." as well as route subscribers directly to their Senator's office.

After all of the miserable failures of the Kerry campaign, it's great to see a Progressive group with its act together!
