Dear friend,

During their time in the Senate Majority Democrats blocked and stalled many of President Bush's judicial nominees. They refused to even allow fair and timely hearings. This unfair delay and obstruction against qualified judges has left us with a dangerous level of judicial vacancies.

So it should come as no surprise to us that the Democrats are threatening to filibuster Miguel Estrada's nomination. It's been over twenty months since the President first nominated him and now the Democrat's threatened filibuster would only further delay final action - and it also threatens to grind the United States Senate to a stand still.

Miguel Estrada is extremely qualified to sit on the bench. Having argued 15 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, he certainly has the credentials. He's even received the Democrats "gold standard" for judges - a unanimous "well qualified" rating from the American Bar Association.

Estrada has tremendous support among Hispanic leaders and throughout the Hispanic community. He would become the first Hispanic judge to sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

We both know that Americans made it clear in last year's elections that they want progress - not gridlock. They want leaders that will work together to move the country forward - not ambitious politicians who care only about pandering to their presidential "voter base."
By filibustering Miguel Estrada's nomination, not only would Senate Democrats delay work on the important issues President Bush spelled out in his State of the Union address, but they would also show that they intend to stand in the way of President Bush's outstanding judicial nominees who adhere to proper judicial philosophy.

Apparently last year's historic election results were not enough. We need to send the Senate Democrats another clear message. By signing our online petition you'll let Senate Democrats know that their planned tactics are completely unacceptable to the American people. We'll also let them know that you stand behind President Bush and his judicial nominees.

Together we can make America a better place to live, learn, work and raise our families. Thank you.

Gratefully yours,

Senator George Allen
Chairman
National Republican Senatorial Committee

"Slime"
(To be sung to the Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs")

Guv'ment said, "Right-wing, Christian people need not apply."
So I buried my views down deep in my heart, and I went in to ask Bill, "Why?"
He said, "You look like a fine Left-leanin' young man, I think you'll do!"
So I called out to Slick, sang, "It'd make me sick, PUNK, me workin' for you!"...Woah!
Slime, slime, ev'rywhere there's slime,
Obstructin' inquiries, trashin' what's Right!
Do this, don't do that...Lib'rals blow my mind!!

And Carville said, "Anybody caught dissentin' best be ready to FIGHT!"
So I jumped on the stage and I yelled at the louse, "James, what gives you the right...
To put up a Wall to keep the Truth out, or to keep this Vile Prez'dent in?
If Reagan was well, he'd tell ya to your face, 'Boy, you're some kind of sinner!!!'"
Slime, slime, ev'rywhere there's slime,
Attackin' good Americans for doin' what's Right!
What's this, DemocRATS, don't you feel contrite?!

Well, hey Whorealdo, can't you read? How much did the White House pay you off to deceive?
We can't bear to watch, NO! Damn the Elites...keep their Power preyin' on our fears!
"TIME" says, "You gotta have a Socialist Card to report their lies...!!
Unhh!!

But the Right says, "Ev'rybody's welcome to come in, kneel down and pray...
But since the Left's Bias corrupts it all, our views don't get any airplay.
So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little songs...
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me...I'm alive and Rightin' Wrongs..."
Wooo!!!

It's high time Right showed a li'l spine...
Insist on Re-Impeachment, Raze Left's Wall of Slime...
Do this, and you'll find that...Ol' Slick'll Do Time!!
Slime, slime...Clinton SHALL DO TIME!!
Slime...slime, slime...
