Amen and Amen! The people have spoken in massive numbers and and they did NOT speak for stroking the ego of Arlen Specter. Who was helped in his reelection by President Bush, and who promptly turned on Bush as soon as the polls closed.
So OK Bill Frist- you couldn't do the job for Bush with a 1 vote majority in the Senate- now you've got 4.
Grow a spine and bypass Specter for this vital position.
Dear Senator Frist,
We in the heartland celebrate the relection of George W. Bush and see this election as a mandate for conservative values across the board.
I am deeply troubled to hear that Senator Arlen Specter has chosen to put the President on notice regarding his Supreme Court nominees and feel quite strongly that this man has NO business telling the President what to do! The American people have spoken and we WANT Supreme Court justices who are strict constructionists, NOT those who would legislate from the bench.
Please do whatever is necessary to see that Senator Specter does NOT head the Judiciary committee, as I believe he would be combative to the President.
Thank you for your consideration, and congratulations on a stunning Republican victory!
