After a pause for a prayer of thanksgiving for the pro-life election results, its time for citizens to get to work to assure that we continue to protect life at all ages. As most of you are aware the appointment of judges and perhaps justices to the Supreme Court will be key to the hope of achieving a culture of life in America.
You’ve probably been receiving these action alerts from many sources as I have, but I will pass along this link from National Right to Life to assist you in contacting the Republican senators to urge them to keep Senator Arlen Specter from becoming chairman of the very important Judiciary Committee. It has all the information you need to make your voice heard.
URGENT – CONTINUE URGING ALL REPUBLICAN SENATORS NOT TO SELECT SENATOR SPECTER AS CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON – NOVEMBER 9, 2004 – Please continue to act on our November 5 “Urgent Congressional Alert.” That alert is posted on the NRLC website here.
**Republican senators (including the seven newly elected senators) will come to Washington next week (the week of November 15) for organizational meetings. Crucial decisions are likely to be made at that time. Therefore, before that occurs, it is especially important that key members of the Republican leadership receive many more calls and e-mails urging, “Do not allow Sen. Specter to assume the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee.” **
Senator Specter is a longtime defender of Roe v. Wade. He played a key role in defeating the nomination of Judge Robert Bork (a Roe opponent) to the Supreme Court in 1987. Last week Specter said that Roe is “inviolate.” Contrary to the impression people might receive from some news reports over the past week, Specter has NOT promised to support President Bush’s nominees to the Supreme Court. As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he would chair the public hearings on any nominations, and would have great power to damage a nominee before sending the nomination to the full Senate.
**E-mails can be sent to the leaders, and to Republican members of the Judiciary Committee, through the NRLC Legislative Action Center, using the links below. For information on how to contact any of the seven newly elected Republican senators, see the links at the bottom of this e-mail. **
Ultimately, the power to decide who will chair the Judiciary Committee rests collectively with the 55 Republican senators, who make up the Senate Republican Conference. The NRLC Legislative Action Center also includes phone and fax numbers for all of the Republican senators, and provides webforms that make it easy for you to send e-mails to any of them. The basic message is simple: “Please OPPOSE making Arlen Specter the chairman of the Judiciary Committee.” You can draw reasons from those given in the November 5 NRLC alert.
For the leaders and committee members, phone calls can be directed to the numbers listed below. If you receive or see comments by a Republican senator on the question of the Judiciary Committee chairmanship, please forward it to us by e-mail (Legfederal@aol.com) or fax (202-347-3668).
