ACTION ALERT
It is not a foregone conclusion that Arlen Specter will be the next chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is well within the rights of the Senate Judiciary Committee members to nominate, and the Senate Republicans to award the Judiciary Committee chairmanship to a pro-life, anti-homosexual marriage, pro-second amendment traditionalist .
Arlen Specter is pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-human cloning, pro-homosexual rights, and played a key role in defeating Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court. He must be defeated. Please take action right away.
1. CONTACT JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND ASK THEM TO REJECT ARLEN SPECTER'S BID FOR THE CHAIRMANSHIP
Urge the Judiciary Committee members listed below to support Senator John Kyl of Arizona for Chairman, so that the anti-Specter forces are not divided among several of the other contenders thus giving Specter a better chance of winning. Kyl has the most seniority after Specter, excepting Grassley who doesn't want the job because he wants to maintain his position as chairman of the Finance Committee.
It is especially important that you contact the member if he is from your state!
