Overwhelmed: Supreme Networking Opportunity Edition

Big stuff happening in that faraway Washington--Sandra Day O'Connor retiring--but here in the 21st century, you can do your little bit with the magic of technology. DavidNYC over at Kos has some suggestions, one of which has been used successfully in Italy and other parts of Europe where they love their cell phones:

If you have a cell phone, sign up for People at the American Way's Mass Immediate Response site. This way, you'll be able to receive text message action items instantly as events break. (If you signed up during the nuclear option fight, you'll need to re-sign up.)

There are some other, more traditional ideas for a bit of action in the post, too. One is to write a letter to the president, not because you think he'll pay any attention to your views but so we can set a rhetorical position for the media. So send a copy to the press, too.
