If you have been following the news...you may have heard that the moderate Republican Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is the new enemy number one of his party. Specter dared to inform the Emperor in Chief that an ultra-conservative Supreme Court nominee (that would likely overturn Roe v. Wade) would meet an unlikely confirmation if presented to the judiciary committee. Specter deserves our support and he needs it NOW.
Now that the neo-con republican machine has taken its sights off of Kerry and Daschle, Specter is in the bulls eye. They are enlisting their fundy army to see that Majority Leader Bill Frist does not confirm Specter as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We need to counter this with our own action. With a 55-44 gap in the Senate, the moderate, pro-choice Republicans can be our friends. The following message can be found at the G Gordon Liddy Show Web site. Their are many other pro-life sites making the same charge.
Please read this, and contact these folks BEFORE WEDNESDAY with the OPPOSITE message. Confirm Specter! We need his support.
