A coalition of activists in Maine are launching an massive road tour on December 12 through the state they are calling “Rolling Justice” where community leaders will discuss the threat Samuel Alito could pose to our basic rights if appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Here’s the announcement:

Please join members of the Maine Fair and Independent Courts Coalition during the week of December 12 in a nationwide effort to draw attention to the nomination of Judge Sam Alito to the Supreme Court and give Mainers a chance to express their concerns about his troubling record.

Allies and activists will be getting in a van and traveling throughout the state to get people talking within their communities about what his confirmation could mean for Maine people. Local media outlets will be invited to cover the campaign in different areas of the state as we talk with people and gather petition signatures in stores, coffee shops and other gathering places.

We need activists to make the trips with us as well as local contacts at each stop to be present. This will be a particularly good opportunity for local activists to state their personal objections and thoughts on the nomination of Judge Alito. …

Exact locations will be announced shortly. If you are interested in traveling in the van or meeting us in one of the above locations, please email organizer at mainewomen.og for specific information.

The effort is organized by leaders of dozens of Maine citizen groups including the Maine Women’s Lobby. A detailed schedule is after the jump.
