American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene warned, “What we have here is an ideological and a partisan attempt by Senator Leahy and a few of his colleagues to highjack one third of the United States Government. If the American people understand that they can move anything and get these nominees out of committee and to the full Senate for a vote.”

In a released statement, Keene further emphasized, “Their message is clear: ‘No Conservatives Need Apply.’ To disregard qualified individuals, solely because they fail a litmus test established by extreme left-wing organization, constitutes an abhorrent abuse of power. Leahy and Daschle continue to use obstructionist tactics against the President’s nominees because the nominees believe that judges should interpret the law, not make it: a notion unacceptable to those left-wing organizations and Senators who believe judges should usurp the power of the people and their elected representatives by making law themselves.”

“ACU, once again demands that Senators Daschle and Judiciary Committee Chairman Leahy to stop their unfair political posturing and have fair hearings and full Senate floor votes for the President’s judicial nominees,” concluded Keene.

The Free Republic Network urges all Freepers to utilize the ACU website and take action by sending a message to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

"Today, under the current leadership of the Senate and under the leadership of the senate judiciary committee, the conduct would be more appropriate to some banana republic, where individual fiat determines who is to judge or who is receiving an appointment rather than the constitutional method which has been prescribed and which has been followed now for over 200 years.”

BANANA REPUBLIC BUMP!

Thankyou good and faithful FREEPERS for standing in for all of us! Our deepest thanks. God bless you!

Thanks for all the great pictures, Skeet, and "Hats off to you and the crew!"

Here is a copy of an email I got recently about the 50 bills that are stalled with Daschle.

Right now there are 50 important bills that have already passed the House of Representatives, but are slowly dying on Senator Tom Daschle's desk -- including:

--Faith-based solutions to welfare (10 months)
--Ban all human cloning (9 months)
--Oil embargo protection bill (14 months)
--Make our tax cuts permanent (2 months)

You took a stand with me to Keep The Tax Cuts. Now, I need your help to send Tom Daschle a message that it's time to take action on these bills.

Click below to sign a DEMAND LETTER that will be delivered to the Majority Leader's office:
Click here

The fact is, Sen. Daschle is doing everything in his power to block critical legislation that most certainly would benefit the American people!

Click below for a complete list of the "Daschle 50": Click here

To make matters worse, these bills will die on Sen. Daschle's desk if they do not come up for a vote in this session of Congress!

This is political posturing at its worst. That's why I have joined together with other members of Congress to launch a nationwide petition demanding that the liberal Senate leadership free the dozens of bills that are being held up for vote.

Click below to join the thousands of Americans who are telling the Senate leader to "FREE THE DASCHLE FIFTY"

Click here

My plan is to rally 100,000 signed Demand Letters in the next 45 days and to personally put them on the desk of Sen. Daschle!

But we must hurry. Without your support, these bills will perish, and all the work that we have done to strengthen our families and protect our nation will be wasted.

That's why I'm counting on the overwhelming support of the American people to lead the way to victory!

Thank you for your help!

Republican SENATORS
NO WAY should you make a 'deal' with Dashole, and let his
creepy friend get a lucrative FCC job in return for a floor vote on judges
that ALREADY made it PAST LEAHY!!!

Remember Terry McAullife made $18 MILLION just from one sweetheart
insider deal based on FCC info!
Slimy democrats know exactly WHERE to go
to line their pockets!

Dashole just wants to line his friends pockets.
And just like the Clinton/McAullife deal, there is probably some way to
funnel some of those millions back to the Dashole family budget.

For example, what if the former Miss Kansas (now Washington Lobbyist Linda
Dashle) chose to change her lobbying from the FAA to FCC.
She would be guaranteed millions per year and Dashole's friend would be her ticket to riches!!!

What about all the corrupt FCC lobbyists in the past that got rich under Clinton?
They will ALL keep getting rich under Dashole's friend!

Republicans, please find some guts, and PLEASE PERMANENTLY KILL THAT DASHOLE NOMINEE'S CONSIDERATION!

I like Laura Ingraham, but I certainly wish she didn't look like she like Leaky Leahy.

Thanks for the great report

Kudos to our DC Freepers for another great job.

It becomes more important each day that we must defeat a lot of Rat Senators to make the Traitor Leahy and Shorty Mullah Da$$hole minority senators in charge of checking on janitorial supplies in the senate washroom.

Vote the Rat Bastards out of the Senate in November.
