Dear friends,

the left-democrats have gotten quite used to manipulating our judicial system for social engineering. This is the only reason they are filibustering Estrada. It is the first time in the history of our Nation that a filibuster has been held for an appellate court nomination. Why? 2 reasons: because the Washington DC appellate court is considered to be the inside lane for appointment to the Supreme Court. And more importantly, because Estrada isn't a leftist democrat... and the Dems fear losing hispanic votes to the right.

What is most insulting to me (I am of hispanic ancestry) is the inference in this act that any group can be considered to be "in the Dems pocket" - and that their filibuster is done NOT for the good of the country, but for their own partisan (ie: for the ILL of the country) reasons. But much as I may personally abhor their position, there is something I can do to send them a message. I just did, and urge you to follow suit:

I urge everyone who is following &/or concerned about the Estrada Filibuster, especially Americans of Hispanic Ancestry, to write their senators and demand the filibuster be stopped. A good place online to do this is over at www.townhall.com - they've a hyperlink which allows you to find your representatives and email them (I'm from NY, so good ole Chuck Schumer got a note from me just a bit ago).

The truth is that yes, we CAN show these bozos our opinion of their jobs through our Votes - but I'm not willing to wait another 3 years to see my respective Senators (Schumer & Clinton... ugghhh) pull stunts that I'm not happy with, or that I think are not in the interests of the nation. So I wrote them, and I ask that you write your reps/sens as well... especially if they're Dems.

good post Leuitenant Rosario!
It must be rough to have those 2 as senators, but Graham and Bill Nelson honestly aren't much better (though Nelson has aparently decided job security is better than pandering to the hyper left!)

this thread is a good place to go to:

FREEPers, I have created the ultimate Estrada activism thread. On it you will find ways to contact Senators, newsspapers, radio/tv people, organizations etc. Go there and help support Estrada. Keep the thread bumped until we get him confirmed.
