********************************************************* Urge President Bush to act now against racial preferences From: Ward Connerly President George W. Bush has a great opportunity to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose affirmative action. He can tell the Justices, in a legal brief, that his administration opposes the University of Michigan's policies, which are based on racial preferences. No date has been set for oral arguments, but the Justice Department must decide by Jan. 16 whether to file a brief in the case. Your help is needed at LibertyPetitions.com to make sure it does. Here's where you can make a difference: http://www.libertypetitions.com/petition.html?name=no_racial_preference The Supreme Court should make clear that greater student body diversity does not justify racial and ethnic discrimination. Americans have seen institutionalized discrimination in favor of whites be replaced with institutionalized discrimination against whites (and Asians) in less than a generation. And two wrongs don't make a right. And as the American Civil Rights Institute (www.acri.org) points out in its brief on the case, the harm caused by the use of such racial and ethnic preferences are significant for a number of reasons.

Call on the President to tell the Supreme Court his administration opposes the University of Michigan's policies. Sign the petition to President Bush and strike a blow that could help turn the tide of this long battle against affirmative action and move our nation toward a more color-blind society where equal justice under the law is once again the law of the land. Let's swamp the White House in petitions before Jan. 16 and give President Bush the support he needs to influence the Supreme Court. Ward Connerly American Civil Rights Institute
