FRN has been contacted by the Senate Republican Conference and the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary for our help in breaking the Democrat obstruction to get conservative judicial nominees appointed.

We have been complaining about the lack of Republican backbone. Now lets show support when they grow one. We are asking for members of the forum to help keep this thread bumped and urge your friends, family, EVERYONE, to take action to support the filibuster effort.

Contact your own senators but take an extra minute to contact the biggest obstructionist of them all...Mrs. Clinton. It might also help to terminate her poised run for the White House.

Hillary R. Clinton

Like her failed impeached husband, she represents only democrats – not America and Americans! Let her know we’re out here and we don’t like her or her tactics one bit.

***Urgent Help Needed!*** Support the Senate Republican filibuster on judicial nominees!!! STOP THE DEMOCRAT OBSTRUCTION! SUPPORT FRIST-MILLER!
What you can do to help:		Frist Hopes to Change Filibuster Rules by Keith Peters, Washington, D.C., correspondent Senate majority leader wants to lower the number of votes needed to stop Democratic blockade of President Bush's judicial nominees. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has had enough of his Democratic colleagues filibustering conservative judicial nominees — so he has plans to make breaking those filibusters easier. Frist wants to do it by changing Senate rules governing the number of votes needed to override a filibuster. His attempt to do it through a Senate resolution is co-sponsored by Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. "It would end the filibuster as applied to the president's nominations," explained Manuel Miranda, a Frist aide. "On the first vote there would be the 60 votes that we have now, and then it would escalate downward so that at the end . . . a simple majority would be able to do what the Constitution calls upon senators to do — have an honest, fair up-or-down vote." Attorney Deanna Mool of the Republican National Lawyers Association said Democrats have applied a litmus test to judicial nominees by blocking Miguel Estrada, Priscilla Owen and Bill Pryor. "If the Democrats don't like the view of the appointee on certain issues, they just say, 'You know what? We're not going to allow a vote on this guy or woman and we don't have to seat them.' It's just wrong." Miranda said he thinks most people understand how wrong it is, which is why he predicts success for the Republicans. "I think the American people are becoming very aware and sensitized to the issue of the judiciary, the importance of the judiciary and how bad it can be when the judiciary goes awry," he said.

Alas...my senators are part of the problem. Osama Mama Murray and Marie Cant do well. Contact is futile, but I will any way.

I sent my wishes to Senators Shelby and Sessions. Told them to actively participate. Surely the Republicans realize what laughing stocks the Democrats are making of them

I admire your spunk, but think about what's going to happen. The GOP is going to go on a, what, 24/48 hour filibuster of a filibuster? It only takes one dem on the floor during the debate to prevent the closure vote. They'll do that and we'll end up looking silly and only empower the other side. Another example of our GOP naive unaffected simplicity.

Ok, I see that they are wanting to end the current rules about filibusters and to make it easier to end these damned obstructionists. BUT, my concern is this: Do we have the votes to change the current rules. Can anyone answer this?
