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

"Cute story....

Right after FallGuy posted the article this morning , FR went down. FallGuy called out, I think I broke something . Then we laughed so hard because this has been his first time ever on a computer when he registered as a FReeper."

LOL...the Leftist Hackers Hate and Fear the Truth, don't they?! Reminds me a story from the Summer of '00. In June/July of last year, I became APPALLED that there were no FReeper Rallies Fer Justice planned in DeeCee until October 2000's "March Fer Liberty II." Therefore, me and a few other FReepers decided upon 12 August 2000 for the date of the Patriot's March Fer Justice in which we would call for the RE-Impeachment of the EX-Traitor-in-Chief. Well, in early-to-mid-July, I played hookey from work and began a thread in which I started publicizing the 8/12/00 Gathering and was actually building up a pretty good bit of momentum for the concept. PokerFace had agreed to play at the Lincoln Memorial and Randy Stalls had agreed to come and sing his great patriotic song "I Believe in the Children" and we had began to line up speakers, and I was literally HOUNDING Limbaugh to publicize the Event to his 20 Million listeners!! I was seriously JAZZED and my FReepin' seemed to be well-received on-Forum...in my mind, we were gonna re-open the Issue of The Appropriateness of a known Felon, Rapist, and Traitor completing his Term in the Oval Office...and just in time for the Presidential Campaign!!!

Well...then the weirdness started happening. I've got the actual thread buried in my Stack of Stuff here somewhere, but I remember prodding on my fellow FReepers with the statement, "SHEEEESH...you put out a call for Patriots and everybody runs fer the tall grass!!" Soon after, FR went down!! Well, it was late at night and--in all the excitement--I hadn't slept much for a few days, so I cozied up in my La-Z-Boy and watched a little mindless TeeVee until I fell asleep for a few hours, ignorantly leaving my computer on. When I awoke, my computer had been hacked. And not just a little hacking, but totally FRIED!! I've got some friends in the local police department and they traced the hacker through a few dummy email addresses, but the culprit was never caught, and that computer has never worked since (although I do still have it and most of my hard drive was salvageable).

Well...for awhile, I FReeped from various Kinko's locations and racked up hundreds of dollars worth of bills there and kept pushing for the 8/12/00 Patriot's March Fer Justice, but some other weird coincidences (I'll save those for another day) kept happening and the Missuz started to freak more than a bit, and the March--while held--never reached anywhere near its potential. Meanwhile, I was without a computer of my own for almost two months and my QUEST FER RE-IMPEACHMENT was derailed for the time being.

In closing, let me just point out how close I believe we were...as you know, since the Gulf War, I've listened to Rush Limbaugh religiously for anywhere from 20-30 hours per week (I tape his show and re-listen to it when I can). The very next day after my computer was hacked into oblivion, I was taping Limbaugh's show and Rush said--and this is the only time I've heard him say these words--"everybody's running for the tall grass..."!!

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...MUD
