This Wednesday, May 14, Contact Your Members of Congress to Defeat the Bush Tax Giveaway

Dear Right Wing Fanatic,

"Democracy can work, particularly when a lot of people get on the phone or by email, and just let them know what's on your mind." -- George W. Bush, 5/5/03

President Bush has ordered his most loyal and partisan supporters to contact their Senators and Representatives in Congress to pressure them to pass his irresponsible tax giveaway.

It's time to fight back.

The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, Campaign for America's Future, and dozens of other groups representing millions of Americans to organize a massive public mobilization. On Wednesday, May 14, join us by calling and emailing your representatives in Congress to let them know that the majority of Americans oppose more irresponsible tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the wealthiest sliver of Americans.

Next week, we'll send you details on how you can use Democrats.org to contact your Representatives and Senators to tell them that it's time to pass a genuine stimulus plan instead of the irresponsible Bush tax giveaway.

Speaking of Genuine Stimulus Plans...

Senate Democrats introduced a plan to get the sluggish Bush economy moving again. The plan includes targeted tax breaks, help for small businesses, desperately needed aid for state and local governments, and help to laid-off workers.

It provides the immediate stimulus our economy needs at a fraction of the cost of Bush's ineffective scheme.

Click here to learn more about the Democratic economic recovery plan.

Take Action

Click here to send President Bush a message telling him it's time to abandon his irresponsible tax giveaway and to do the right thing to get our economy moving.

Supreme Court Countdown: Update

Friday, May 9, marks exactly two years since Bush first nominated some of his most extremist judges to the federal courts, and Democrats continue to protect American values by standing up to right-wing nominees.

The right-wing extremist nominees continue. President Bush has nominated career extremist Carolyn Kuhl for a lifetime appointment to the powerful 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Kuhl, a former official in Reagan's Justice Department, has a long record of opposing reproductive rights, civil rights, and environmental protections:

  • She supported tax breaks for Bob Jones University despite its ban on interracial dating, a position opposed by 200 of her colleagues.
  • She wrote what a former Solicitor General called "the most aggressive memo" advocating the reversal of Roe vs. Wade in a case before the Supreme Court.
  • Prominent environmental groups, in a letter to Senators, have warned that Kuhl's record on environmental protections puts Americans at risk.

Republicans try to subvert the Constitution for Bush's nominees. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has threatened to subvert the Constitution and end the Senate's "advise and consent" role in order to ram Bush's ultraconservative extremist nominees through.

If they're willing to subvert the Constitution to push through nominees to lifetime appointments on the federal bench, just imagine what they'll do when it comes time to fight for Bush's right-wing nominees to the Supreme Court.

Sincerely,

Terry McAuliffe
Chairman

Just got this from the Senate Republican Senmatorial Comittee. Looks like they have their hands full.Time to give them a hand.

 
The National Republican Senatorial Committee

Dear Friend,

 

It's been two years to the day since President Bush sent the United States Senate his first batch of judicial nominees.  This was a distinguished group of men and women from all walks of life.  These well qualified individuals would make outstanding judges and would adhere to a proper judicial philosophy.

 

The Senate Democrats' strategy of obstructing the President's nominees from getting a fair up or down vote has unfortunately led many people to mark this two-year anniversary with a dubious label "Democrat Obstruction Day".

 

The Senate Democrats' current efforts continue as they signal their intentions to hold simultaneous filibusters on highly qualified nominees like Priscilla Owen and Miguel Estrada.  The Democratic threats don't end there because they are also threatening to target other judicial nominees for potential filibusters.

 

Apparently the Democrats failed to learn from their historic defeat in last year's elections.  During their time in the Senate majority, they blocked and stalled many of the President's judicial nominees, even refusing to allow fair and timely hearings.  This obstruction has left the country with far too many judicial vacancies.

 

Republican Senators understand that the American people expect their elected leaders to work together to get things done.  From passing the budget to voting on judicial nominees, Americans want progress - not gridlock. 

 

Please take an opportunity to click on the link below and see for yourself how Senate Democrats say one thing and do another.  Additionally, please feel free to forward this e-mail on to others who may be interested. 

 

With warm regards I remain,


                                                                       
                                                Sincerely yours,

Yeah, not taking more money from me is a "giveaway". Typical Orwellian speech by the DimbulbRats.

Terry McAuliffe comes off like a used car salesman auditioning for a job as a PR spokesperson for a professional wrestler. We are in serious times when straight talk is a must and this circus clown is still having his puppet Tom Daschle spewing cute little one liners in an attempt to undermine our President.

I hope they keep it up, because the entire democratic party is in a spiral that can only be compared to a much needed flush of a freshly loaded toilet

Democrats have used their race-baiting and polemic to the point where they have divided and polarized our country. They'll live to regret it.

Eff McAuliffe in his Cadillac Escalade (that i have seen firsthand!)!!!!!

Have you heard how mcauliffe refers to abortion law as just "choice"?

He says if Estrada gets in then "choice" will be threatened..

What a weasel, to sanitize baby killing as "choice"

..Dear mr mcauliffe,

I bought some choice beef the other day, does this mean it was aborted ?.....

Ever since Bill Clinton, Democrats have had a credibility gap with the public. A simple examination of this letter hints as to why this problem persists:

*She supported tax breaks for Bob Jones University despite its ban on interracial dating, a position opposed by 200 of her colleagues.

-She is a judge, not a legislator. Therefore, the word "supporting" is inappropriate. Is it possible that in her capacity as a judge she upheld a law providing tax breaks to universities in general, and Bob Jones was just one of the many which received this? In this case, Bob Jones was not even on her mind for the ruling.

*She wrote what a former Solicitor General called "the most aggressive memo" advocating the reversal of Roe vs. Wade in a case before the Supreme Court.

-Would you tell us if this "former" Solicitor General was a ex-Clinton official? (or official in a former Dem administration)

*Prominent environmental groups, in a letter to Senators, have warned that Kuhl's record on environmental protections puts Americans at risk.

-Translation: Left-wing environmental extremist groups have been frustrated by the judge in their efforts to seize private property and put citizens and businesses at a disadvantage.

--
The more Democrats stretch the truth, the harder it is to trust them. And during these perilous times, the people need to trust their leaders. This is the key reason Bush is viewed so favorably compared to Democrats.

I will never be able to understand how the DNC can get people to call their legislators and DEMAND that they not give them some of their own money (that they are clearly pissing down the toilet) BACK.

WTF is wrong with these people?

Why not make the tax cut 'voluntary?' Put a checkbox on the 1040 form, and these people can tell the moneywasting idiots to keep their money.

Isn't is fascinating that the Dems propose new programs almost every day, yet they only worry about "how much it costs" when the Congressional bills dare to try to give money back to the citizenry? Otherwise, ideas like Universal Healthcare, which would cost more than several hundred billin dollars annually (recall that the several hundred billion dollars being argued over in the tax cut debtae is over TEN years), will never see a single Dem (nor any of the gutless worm Republicans) asking how it is going to be paid for.
