Obama’s Supreme Court nominee

This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message from:

Senate GOP Caving In On Obama’s Radical Court Nominee — Call Their Home Offices TODAY To Say ‘Get A Backbone!’:
http://www.rightmarch.com/sotomayor-home.htm


ALERT: This week, we’re launching an all-out blitz to ensure that Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee is NOT crammed down our throats without a fight. Senate Democrats are trying to rush through this radical leftist nominee in the U.S. Senate…

And Senate Republicans are LETTING them do it — unless WE force them to STOP it!

As you know, President Barack Obama has nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. He has the Constitutional right to nominate whomever he wants to — but the woman he has nominated is the most radical leftist he could have picked.

There MUST be a long, robust debate over her nomination… But Senate Republicans are ready to let her pass through quickly, unless we’re able to change their minds THIS WEEK.


We MUST remind them of exactly who this woman is, and what she believes:

  • She is a far-left judicial activist;
  • She believes in racial and gender bias from the courts;
  • She is a member of the pro-illegal immigration group LA RAZA;
  • She does NOT believe in the individual Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms”;
  • She is hostile to private property rights;
  • She is a pro-abortion judicial activist;
  • She supports giving Statehood to Puerto Rico — under biased conditions;
  • She supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still serving time in prison.
  • Her rulings have been over turned in the Supreme Court several times. Just recently she was over turned for ignoring the law and denying firefighters who earned the right to promotions and giving their jobs to minorities.

THAT is who Senate Republicans are allowing to be crammed down our throats — unless we can FORCE them to STAND UP to the Democrats NOW!

TAKE ACTION: This week, all of the Senators have returned to their home states for the Independence Day holiday break. THIS is when they are forced to actually LISTEN to their constituents for a change — they aren’t safely tucked inside the Washington, D.C. “bubble,” but have to face YOU AND ME, the ones who VOTE to decide whether they get to keep their jobs.

THIS is our opportunity. You see, the Democrats have proven in recent years that judicial nominations can’t move forward unless there is at least a 60-vote majority willing to cut off all debate on the nomination. Right now, the Republicans only have 40 votes… BUT, the Democrats don’t actually HAVE the remaining 60 votes on their side, thanks to the absence of 3 Democrat Senators!

This means that Democrats really have just a 57-40 majority — meaning that, on any issue INCLUDING A VOTE ON SOTOMAYOR, the GOP can actually lose two Republican votes and still deny the Democrats the votes needed to stop a filibuster!

We have a chance THIS WEEK ONLY to DEMAND that every single GOP Senator stand strong against the Democrat bullying, and REFUSE to allow them to cut off debate and discussion over Judge Sotomayor’s nomination. It’s simply insane for the Senate Democrats to rush a vote on this. She’s been on one court or another for 17 years; she has an extensive record, so it takes a while to go through 3,600 cases. Her questionnaire is still incomplete — among other deficiencies, she has not provided materials from seventeen cases she handled as a prosecutor. Nor has she provided materials from any appellate cases she handled. And she has not provided materials from over 100 speeches she has given.

The Democrats want to push through a vote before the Senate’s August recess. WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. That means we need every single GOP Senator to know exactly how the American people feel about this.

Can YOU take just a few minutes today, to call some — or even all! — of the 40 Republican Senators’ home state offices, and tell them one simple thing:

“Do NOT let the Democrats rush through a vote on the nomination of Judge Sotomayor! The confirmation debate and the final vote should occur in September, to allow the American people to engage in this debate!”

It’s that simple. PLEASE, call as many of these 40 Republicans as you can TODAY:

FW: AUSTRALIAN GUN LAW UPDATE

The only way you can take a citizen’s rights is to steal them like a thief in the night.

Australian Gun Law Update

Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts . . ..

From:   Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the now available data from Down Under.

It has now been one year (12 months) since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia  taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now available:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent;

Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent);

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent as compared with the last one year period when private ownership of a firearm was legal.

(NB: the law-abiding citizens did turn in their personal firearms, the criminal element did not and thus criminals in Australia still possess their guns.)

While data for the 25 years preceding the confiscation of privately owned guns showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months as criminals now are assured their victims will be unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns.’

This story of well intentioned government intervention in the rights of lawful individuals to own and possess firearms won’t be seen in the mainstream US media or on the American evening news.     Senator Obama who advocates a similar confiscation in the US will not be reporting any of this to you.

But, the Australian experience speaks for itself.     Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Americans may want to take note before it’s too late!

FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST.

DON’T BE A MEMBER OF THE SILENT MAJORITY.

BE A PARTICIPANT IN THE VOCAL MINORITY WHO DOESN’T WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN AUSTRALIA HAPPEN IN THE US !
