[SERKIT]

"Minority Rights" = I'm trying to convince Obama & Durbin to act on behalf of me, a minority Republican in Illinois and VOTE
"Freedom of Speech" = The judicial candidates have been muzzled, have been subjected to attacks that the Kennedy's & Schumers in the Senate have lodged, and could not openly defend themselves.
"Every Vote Counts" = only counts if there is a vote
"Do-Nothing Congress" = Senators who refuse to VOTE is do their sworn duty
