Stop Arlen Specter - ON-LINE PETITION (From gopusa.com)
GOPUSA.com ^ | 11-05-04

We Want a Strong Leader on the Senate Judiciary Committee

The reelection of President George W. Bush and the increase of 4 Republican seats in the Senate offer Republicans an opportunity to have judicial nominees approved by the full Senate.

Self-proclaimed moderate Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) is in line to become chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Specter helped kill President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court and that of Jeff Sessions to a federal judgeship.

On November 3, Sen. Specter issued the following blunt warning to the president concerning judicial nominees.

"When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe v. Wade, I think that is unlikely. The president is well aware of what happened, when a bunch of his nominees were sent up, with the filibuster. [A]nd I would expect the president to be mindful of the considerations which I am mentioning."

This statement by Sen. Specter indicates he would apply a pro-choice litmus test to the president's nominees and would likely not pass them out of committee if they did not meet that litmus test.

Republicans cannot lose this fight to a moderate Republican. Tell the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that we demand strong leadership.

To Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

We consider approval of President Bush's judicial nominees to be one of the defining issues of our time. Strong conservative leadership will be of the utmost importance.

To that end we urge you not to elect Sen. Arlen Specter as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sincerely,

Signed the petition, went to notspecter.com, forwarded both links to my Aunt (she's pro-life) with a picure of a 3-D sonogram (along with a Terri Schiavo update), and will make an effort to email Frist and Judiciary members over the weekend.

Excellent website, for pro-lifers and girls with unexpected pregnancies:

standupgirl.com

Excellent and touching flash videos there.

Now THIS is American activism!!! Congratulations my friend for starting the ball rolling on getting rid of "single bullet" Specter.

For those newer FReepers and lurkers, it was Arlen Specter who came up with the Warren Commission's "single bullet" theory. A pristine bullet conveniently found on the stretcher bearing the body of President John F. Kennedy was determined by the smoke and mirrors Warren Commission to have inflected all of the wounds suffered by Kennedy, and the then Texas Governor, John Connelly.

That cock-'n-bull story was invented by none other than that gutter scum lawyer turned U.S. Senator ( now there's an oxymoron ). Come to think of it, we've got Senator John Edwards. Different suit - same kind of slimeball.

A Freeper mentioned that Ingraham focused on Specter the entire 2 hours. There's 1h 40m left

Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion

What does this say about Senator Specter?

Thank you for posting that picture!!!

Do you by any chance have a link to the story behind it? I vaguely recall it was feaured in Focus on the Family once.

I've tried to search Google for it, but my memory is so bad I can't seem to find it.

I'm not one who believes life begins at conception but I oppose Row v Wade so I signed the petition.

I searched for that pic for a looooong time!
I don't remember where I finally found it, but I vaguely remember the story being that the doctor was in the process of aborting the baby when he/she grabbed his finger.
I don't remember the final outcome, but I pray the baby is alive and well today.
