FREEPer ESTRADA Activism (VANITY)

[votelife]

Wheareas Miguel Estrada has not been confirmed, FreeRepublic will stand tall for this nominee, until the day when Estrada is finally able to take his oath.

Absolutely agree....we must continue to fight for Estrada!

Pinging other FL Freepers to help in this effort!

Fellow FL Freepers.....Please call our senators & join this effort to support the confirmation of Estrada!

Tonight Bob Dole said on Hardball that 'the Constitution gives the Senate the power to confirm judicial nominees NOT the power to filibuster them'.

A reminder of what we're up against:

"Being Hispanic for us means much more than having a surname," said New Jersey Rep. Bob Menendez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "It means having some relationship with the reality of what it is to live in this country as a Hispanic American."

This is the Democrat case against Estrada...

[Republic]

Thank you for this effort. Tomorrow I am going to use many of your links and start expressing my opinion, BIG TIME! Thanks again-this is TERRIFIC!

MAJOR BUMP!

This is getting exactly the kind of response that I hoped. I remember 2 years ago when President Bush was trying to get the tax cut passed. Each day was designed to target a different Senator. Well, this is similar. The goal of this is to make Daschle and company regret not confirming Estrada before the break. We want them to see our outrage!

by the way, if anyone has OTHER links that should be on this thread, feel free to add them!

Thanks for the effort you have put forth on this!

Bump for Estrada! I talked to an aide of Bob Graham's this morning. They are gueneninely scared about this nominee. Which means, we need to make our Senators more scared of the voters than of this nominee!

[votelife]

Estrad BUMP! Have you called your senators today?

On another post, a fine freeper, 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten, posted this:

I put the Estrada issue together as follows. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals is the first stop on the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court (to the communists) is what deprived them of the presidency and also what has allowed them to kill babies. As such the Supreme Court is to the communists what the Ring is in Lord of the Rings. And so anything that has to do with the Supreme Court becomes the Mother of All Battles. I really don't think it's any more complicated than this.

I think that the significance of the hispanic angle is that since Supreme Court slots have traditionally been quota based (The Black Seat, the Jewish Seat, the Woman's seat etc. etc.) Mr. Estrada has "First Hispanic Supreme" written all over him. But to repeat, it's not the ethnicity that's at the core of this fight, it's the fact that he might end up on the Supreme Court and not vote for communism.

For the communists they end up looking incredibly naked in their politics, their attacks and their racism, but they can't help it as they are so driven to not lose any more power than they have already lost. I'm sure they know how ridiculous they look, but the end always justifies the means, for them. And I don't doubt that the evil one is calling all the shots.

VERY Good analysis!

Freepers, especially Florida Freepers, we need to let these Hispanic Congressmen/women know of our support for Estrada. The Congression Hispanic Caucus does not speak for ALL Hispanics (paging Representative Menendez!)

Ilean Ros-Lehtinen is my Congresswoman and I just emailed her. We need to get these people excited to support Estrada so they will go to the media to create more support for the nomination. These Florida Congress people are key becuase they can help create pressure on Sens Nelson and Graham.

Some are probably wondering, what should I say to ABC? Tim Russert? Fox News? I mean these guys don't get to vote on Estrada! Well, they need to hear from us. Here is what you could say:

Dear Tim Russert,
The nomination of Miguel Estrada is being held up in the Senate. Please Invite Orrin Hatch and Patrick Leahy on your show to discuss this issue.

Thanks,

That takes 30 seconds.

BTW, I doubt Sen Leahy would EVER appear on MTP!

BUMP for Sean Hannity's help with Estrada.
