DNC and KERRY continues loading the abortion holocaust styled trains to Treblinka.... DNC Picks Pro-Abortion Activist to Head 'Save the Court' Campaign By Jimmy Moore Talon News August 23, 2004 SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- Kate Michelman, the former president of the pro-abortion group NARAL who stepped down from her position to help the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, is heading a new Democratic National Committee campaign dubbed "Save the Court" in an effort to defeat President George W. Bush in November. In an e-mail to DNC supporters on Friday, Michelman invited them to "join our campaign to save the [U.S. Supreme] Court today." Describing this effort as "the single most important battle I've undertaken in a lifetime of activism," Michelman announced the DNC has asked her to be the chairwoman of their fight to "save the Supreme Court." "I'd like you to join me in this fight," Michelman stated in the e-mail. Commenting that there will be at least three open Supreme Court seats in the next four years, Michelman said she is worried that Bush will attempt to pack the court with justices who are pro-life. "If that's George Bush [elected in November], we all know he'll offer up right wing ideologues with extremist beliefs and ultraconservative agendas," Michelman warned. Painting a "nightmarish scenario" if Bush is reelected to a second term, Michelman exclaimed that "decades of hard-won progress will evaporate" including "civil rights; workers' rights; environmental protections; [and] a woman's right to choose." "All are in peril if George Bush wins in November," Michelman expressed. She added, "We can't stand by and let this happen. I won't. And I know you won't, either." Michelman said a web site has been set up at www.courtsave.org to promote this campaign by the DNC. On the web site, it alarmingly says, "On November 2, the Supreme Court is at risk, and the future of our Constitutional rights and liberties hangs in the balance." "Four more years of George W. Bush could wipe out 50 years of social progress on basic rights we now take for granted," the web site screamed in bold type, including voting rights, privacy rights, and disability rights, among others. "During Bush's first term, all of these fundamental freedoms have been subject to an aggressive and deliberate attack," the web site accused. Characterizing the current U.S. Supreme Court as "conservative," the web site contends that the nine justices have "damaged these rights" and a few have "survived this attack ... by the slimmest of margins." Michelman said she believes "this critical issue crosses party lines [and] transcends campaign rhetoric." Citing unnamed polls that declare so-called "undecided voters in battleground states" favor a "balance Supreme Court." "But most of these voters don't know the Court's balance is at risk in this election," Michelman explained. "If they did, they'd be more likely to support a Kerry/Edwards ticket." Making these states the focus of their campaign, Michelman said she will be "making sure voters understand just how much we all stand to lose if George Bush wins in November." Inviting DNC supporters to visit their web site, Michelman also invited them to share their comments about it to her at savethecourt@dnc.org. "Together, we can defeat George Bush and the Republicans, elect Kerry-Edwards and all our Democratic candidates, and Save the Court," Michelman concluded. "We've all worked too hard and too long to accept any other outcome." Tipping her hat to an upcoming DNC event, Michelman said they are planning on conducting a rally on Monday, October 4 when the U.S. Supreme Court reconvenes in Washington. "We'll be gathering in homes and rallying at courthouses nationwide to make sure every voter understands this critical issue," Michelman stated. She invited DNC supporters to host a house party on Saturday, October 2 to "show your commitment to saving our Court." Copyright © 2004 Talon News -- All rights reserved.
