As I understand it John Ashctroft is a Christian
& I have heard that he is A/G. He does embrace our ideals and would
most likely make a good Attorney General. We can't let the liberals win
this one.

You probably know by now that the vote for John Ashcroft's confirmation
as
Attorney General in the Senate Judiciary Committee has been pushed back
one
week.
Senator Orrin Hatch said the opposition to the nomination is
'intense and
relentless.'
The Democrats have inundated Ashcroft with
hundreds of questions for him
to answer in writing before next
Wednesday.
The delayed vote gives the opposition groups - which are
highly
mobilized - even more time to promote their smear
campaign.
People for the American Way, Americans United for the
Separation of Church
and State, National Organization for Women, and others
are mobilizing their
activists - calling their senators asking them to reject
Ashcroft.
Tragically, this opposition is having an effect.
But we
cannot sit by and let this happen!
We, too, can make a difference - and I
will need your help.
I'm asking you to do two things today:
1)
CALL YOUR SENATOR through the Capitol Switchboard - 202.224.3121.
I encourage you to have a polite and courteous conversation with
your
senator stressing that:
a) Ashcroft is qualified to be Attorney
General;
b) Ashcroft should be confirmed not only because of his record,
but also
because of his commitment to equally enforce the laws of the land
-
including upholding the Constitution and rule of law;
c) President
Bush deserves the opportunity to appoint his own Attorney
General.
2)
SIGN THE PETITION today, if you haven't already done so, urging our
leaders
to confirm Ashcroft as Attorney General.

We have more than 170,000 names of support on
our petition so far. But we
have another incredible opportunity to make our
views heard during this
one-week window before the vote!
Before the
Ashcroft nomination goes to the Senate floor for a vote, I want
to be able to
deliver to each and every senator a petition that includes
more than 200,000
names. We are working hard in Washington to keep the
senators aware of this
growing effort of support.
Please sign the petition today - and email
this critical message to your
friends!

this battle and continue our
ongoing efforts across the country to uphold the
Constitution.
Make your voice heard today!
