Kossacks, as the executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, I want to talk briefly about the upcoming Supreme Court debate over Judge John Roberts. As most of you know, this could be one of the most critical civil rights debates that we'll have in our time and we must be ready on many fronts and in many ways.
We have launched a website at www.NoExtremeSupremes.org that enables anyone to upload a picture of themselves with a sign or slogan telling the Senate and the President to say "No" to extreme Supremes. Please join me in this effort. Create a slogan, make a sign, take a picture, upload it at www.NoExtremeSupremes.org and together we can make our voices heard and seen.
Thank you for your energy, enthusiasm and activism,
Wade Henderson
Executive Director, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights
Kossacks, as the executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, I want to talk briefly about the upcoming Supreme Court debate over Judge John Roberts. As most of you know, this could be one of the most critical civil rights debates that we'll have in our time and we must be ready on many fronts and in many ways.
Your community is so vibrant, knowledgeable, and active that I want to first thank you for everything that you have done and I'm sure will do to help us in this debate. Here at the Leadership Conference, we are working with our nearly 200 coalition members to make sure the Senate takes its advice and consent role seriously. In the coming weeks, we'll be providing research on John Roberts and reaching out to grassroots activists around the country.
This is where we need your help. We need to show President Bush and the U.S. Senate that the people who desire a consensus nominee aren't just some small band of Washington, DC based activists. We need to show these folks that ordinary Americans across the country don't want an extremist Supreme Court Justice and will oppose John Roberts if that is what the Senate hearings show him to be.
To help you do this, we have launched a website at www.NoExtremeSupremes.org that enables anyone to upload a picture of themselves with a sign or slogan telling the Senate and the President to say "No" to extreme Supremes. Please join me in this effort. Create a slogan, make a sign, take a picture, upload it at www.NoExtremeSupremes.org and together we can make our voices heard and seen.
