I have been in semi-retirement from FR. But this, as old-timers here know, has long been "my issue."

This case is SHOWTIME for the current administration, and they have until Jan 16th to take a stand. I believe this letter is informative for freepers, and I hope we can make a difference.

Best to all,

Richard Ferrier,

President, Declaration Foundation

Richard, thank you for posting Mr. Connerly's elegant and persuasive argument for the Constitution.

I very much appreciated the opportunity to read it.

Now, we shall see what we shall see.

As a one-time (many years ago) liberal, I voted Democratic because I thought I was voting for the party that was most committed to a color-blind America. I left the Dems (for one reason and there a lot of others) when I finally became convinced that the whole color-blind thing was a gigantic scam on their part and that they had no interest in King's vision.

The Dems are for the most part only interested in a balkanized socialist view of America. Because we are not a perfect country, and will never be one, they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The only major party that is committed to Doctor King's idea of a nation where people are judged by merit and not skin-color is the GOP.

"In fact, my appeal to you is not that of a fellow Republican, but that of a fellow American."

Excellent!

Thank you for posting this.

Raise a glass to the day when a government governs with the best interest of America in mind on every decision it makes.

What else accounts for the rapid demotion of Senator Trent Lott for speaking ill-chosen words?

What else indeed?

The University of Michigan cases, like the re-nomination of Judge Pickering, now stand as a test of President Bush's willingness to place principle over political pandering, as the good Mr. Connerly points out better than I ever could.

This case is SHOWTIME for the current administration

You can bet that the President will do the right thing for our country, no matter what he decides is best.

BUMP

This is the week we find out which way the President is going to go with this!
