You dems don't like Bush's nominations for judges? Dear XXXXXXXXXX, I want to give you an important update on our Supreme Court Countdown and the DNC's new campaign to stop George W. Bush from stacking the nation's highest court with extremist right-wing judges. The latest on retirements. Just this week, TIME.com reported that Justices William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O'Connor have told friends they would like to step down this year. If that happens, Bush will fill two out of the nine slots on the Supreme Court -- enough to shape the Court in the image he wants for decades. Supreme Court justices, like federal justices, are confirmed for life. And Bush has continued to show what kinds of justices he would nominate to the nation's highest court by pushing ultra-conservative, right-wing nominees like Priscilla Owen, Charles Pickering, and Miguel Estrada. If you haven't yet signed our petition, click here to sign it. And if you haven't yet told your friends, click here to spread the word. And if you have told your friends, tell some more! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overwhelming response. The response from last week's Supreme Court Action Alert has been overwhelming. Tens of thousands of you told your friends and signed our Petition for American Values, stating loud and clear that you will stand up against the right-wing nominees Bush will nominate to the Supreme Court. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My pledge to you. Last week, I promised you I would obtain and deliver messages of support from Democratic leaders who are joining you in the fight to keep Bush's ultra-conservative nominees off the Supreme Court. The results have been strong, and the support is pouring in. Here are a few examples of the messages I have received. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney "A Supreme Court stacked with Bush's right-wing judges would be an enormous danger to working families. The rights that we have fought for and won over decades are all at risk. Every working man and woman in America has a stake in the decisions made by our nation's highest court, and I hope all will join me in the fight to defeat Bush's extremist nominees." Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean "President Bush's efforts to pack the courts with lawyers from the ultra-conservative Federalist Society have been damaging to our country. As President, I will nominate judges who will protect and uphold the basic freedoms that we are entitled to as Americans. I will also ensure that John Ashcroft is replaced by an Attorney General who understands the Constitution the way most Americans understand it, and the way James Madison intended it." Massachusetts Senator John Kerry "President Bush has made it a top priority to stack the federal court with judges that represent the far right wing of his party. He will not miss an opportunity to nominate ultra-conservative judges to the nation's highest court, putting our most precious rights at grave risk. A retreat on our freedoms will affect all Americans. Everyone must get involved now in the fight to prevent Bush from stacking the Supreme Court with ideological extremists." Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich The composition of the Supreme Court has never been more crucial. The next Supreme Court is going to decide what privacy rights we retain in the age of the Patriot Act, and if women will retain the right to make their own reproductive choices as guaranteed by Roe v. Wade, and whether limits on the corporate influence over election contributions will be upheld. As President, the only individuals I will nominate to the Supreme Court are those who will be able to meet the litmus test of keeping America safe, free, and just. Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman "The judges on the Supreme Court are called justices for a reason. They have a solemn responsibility to uphold the Constitution to protect our freedoms free from bias or ideology. On equal opportunity, a woman's right to choose, open government, and a whole host of other critical questions, we need skilled, experienced, mainstream and judicious nominees--not the right-wing ideologues President Bush seems fond of. We need a high court that honors our highest principles." Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun "I support the efforts of online activists to stop the extreme political agenda that seeks to pack the Supreme Court." Rev. Al Sharpton "George Bush wants to appoint the same kind of 'states' rights' justices who overruled Florida's state statutes and elected him President of the United States. I'm supporting the Democratic Party's petition drive because I know the importance of future Supreme Court appointments to my community and to America in terms of protecting the hard fought civil rights and civil liberties gains we have made in this country over the past century and a half." Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo "Because America is rejecting President Bush's agenda on economic justice, the environment, civil rights and privacy, he is trying to accomplish it by putting extremist judges on our highest court where the expressed will of the American people doesn't count." I'll be delivering more messages to you in the future. Thank you for your overwhelming response, and and keep up the fight! Sincerely, Terry McAuliffe Chairman

Well, well, well , even a monkey can learn how to use fonts! <g> You said: "Bush is a lying fascist racist bigoted criminal." You are a good example of America's free speech. You don't have to qualify to post lying insults. You don't have to have an education. You don't even have to show that you are sane. It is sad that a low life like you is free to insult one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known, President George W. Bush. America <font color=blue><font size=6> LOVES <font color=black><font size=3> President George W. Bush. Can you say <font size=6><font color=orange> 6 more years<font color=red>!!!!!!
