Please Act Now...Sen.Kerry REQUESTS OUR HELP for Sen. Kennedy!!

Just received an e-mail from Sen.Kerry requesting OUR help for
Sen. Kennedy! Let's DU this !!

from Sen.Kerry's e-mail

Many have looked to him for leadership time and time again - and Senator Ted Kennedy has always led the fight.

Now, my good friend and Massachusetts colleague needs us to join him in a critical undertaking. It will come as no surprise to you that Senator Kennedy is in the forefront of efforts to stop the Republican scheme to change the fundamental Senate rules and create a system in which President Bush's judicial appointments can be approved without a single Democratic vote.

Things could all come to a head in the coming days. The focal point may well be William Myers, a nominee rejected last year who's been nominated again. He could be the test vote on the so-called "nuclear option."

Senator Kennedy and I will both say no to William Myers -- and no to the poisonous abuse of power Republicans are trying to foist on the Senate. Please join us by signing Senator Kennedy's petition.

As you know, the Senate has approved the vast majority of President Bush's judicial nominees -over 95 percent. But, for good cause, we have drawn a line of opposition around nominees like William Myers.

Bush has nominated Myers for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals -- the largest federal court of appeals, and a potential stepping stone to the Supreme Court. For those of us who care deeply about the environment, it is worth noting that the Ninth Circuit has jurisdiction over vast expanses of public land and priceless natural resources. That makes opposing the Myers nomination especially important.

What sense is there in providing a lifetime appointment to an individual who has devoted his career to dismantling the legal protections our courts exist to protect. As a lobbyist for mining interests, he was handpicked by President Bush to regulate that industry. His only experience has been manipulating laws and regulations for corporate gain, against the public interest.

We have to say no to the Myers nomination:

Let's continue making a difference and DU this NOW!
Thanks everyone!

pay attention to these two Catholics? Just kidding. I've been on it. I'm tired of these judges of provocation. I'm tired of thinking about this power grab. But I have no choice but to fight and neither do any of you.

for Ted Kennedy. The only problem is when I clicked on the link the page didn't come up. Is it a good link?

(It's either been "tampered with" or it's really busy)

It took forever to load even with a cable connection

For now it is the issue that is IMPORTANT! We complain but
don't seem to want to ACT unless all of our parameters are
met. Don't think we'll find one "man" to meet everyone's
requirements. So, what do you say...can't you suport this
action to at least try to block the appointment of one of
Bush's justices?

Thanks...

I personally can't because I look at the man behind the action and Kennedy is a snake. We need to get people like him out of office so that he stops soiling the name of good leftists everywhere. He doesn't really care who gets approved. It is just his way of showing he is still important. I can't support action no matter how great tge result can be from such a pig as Kennedy. The only good Kennedys died years ago.

I respect your opinions, and agree with your last sentence.
Peace!

:cry: :banghead: :patriot:

and how do you know what he achieves for his constituents, it says you live in VA? He's done tons of things for MA.

You need to follow along better

and he educates himself, and fights for the things the working class needs. He is an excellent senator, and I will continue to support him as long as he wants to be a senator.

If "old stupid stubborn ways" is fighting for the poor and middle class, I'll take them, thanks very much.

I don't understand your sentiments, but I have some idea of where they come from.

It has taken me close to 15 minutes to get the site up in
the first place, and about another 5 minutes to get the
e-mail to go thru.
Thanks you fellas for doing this. With all the Pope stuff,
I really didn't expect anyone to reply.

Thanks again!

:applause: :applause:

but it is working. Maybe a good sign that it is slow, maybe lots of traffic. Let's all be patient with it...it's still faster than a stamped postcard or letter!

hopefully his sight is being inundated with signer-uppers.

eom

but since it isn't

:kick:

I hope we can keep this on the top all night! I figure
the more signatures he has the more clout he might have.
This Bush administration has got to be stopped, and I kind
of look at this as one of many small steps we as a group
can take to begin the unraveling.

Again, mucho gracias,mmonk!

Here's one more :kick:

I think - page never refreshed properly - stupid server.

If they install the fillbuster, Congress can gain traction on this situation right now.

They all want to remove the fillbuster, not just for judicial reasons.

each time I submit my email the server goes down. I guess I'll trya again later.

It took a couple of attempts, but it was well worth the time. Thanks for the heads-up.

It is so good to see you all here in the midst of the
"Popemania" threads, trying to take action against the
Bush Agenda! You all have made me verrrrrry happy! Let's
continue to make our DU Voices heard and keep hope alive.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I got the email, but I couldn't get the link to work in mine. This one worked!

:kick:

If it's super-busy, I think that's a good sign.

by some ne'er do well Freep...

Supposed to target suspected terrorists and dissidents....More like, its supposed to attack liberal websites.

I have seen and heard him many times now on CSpan. He will always have my vote, thru his actions and words I see a man who cares about the working class and is perhaps making up for past mistakes.
