I am running late for work, but I am going to put this up here for anyone who is interested. Believe it or not, you can make a difference. I for one am greatly concerned about the person who replaces Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. I do not like Bushes nomination, so I signed this petition to put pressure on my Senators and Congressman to keep Roberts off the bench.
I am just putting this here for those who are interested. I know many of you want to make a difference but don't know how to go about it. I am not trying to say anyone should agree with my opinion. Believe it or not, these petitions work.
The following is a brief letter explaining the petition etc.
Subject: Oppose John Roberts' Supreme Court Nomination
Hello,
In the past weeks, Republicans and Democrats have called on President Bush to nominate a moderate for the Supreme Court –- someone who would honor the legacy of independent Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. But last night, President Bush nominated Judge John Roberts, a far-right lawyer and corporate lobbyist, to fill her post on the Supreme Court.
We’ve got to stop Roberts. He opposed clean air rules and worked to help coal companies strip-mine mountaintops. He worked with Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), and tried to keep Congress from defending the Voting Rights Act. He wrote that Roe v. Wade should be “overruled,” and as a lawyer argued (and won) the case that stopped some doctors from even discussing abortion.
Join me in signing MoveOn’s petition to let our Senators know we expect them to oppose John Roberts right now at:
