The
National Clergy Council is urging its supporters and members alike to protest
Senator Arlen Specter's (R-PA) potential nomination to Chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee on December 9. The NCC is asking its for its supporters
to visit their local senator's office that day to let them know the same people
who brought President Bush a second term and Republicans a majority in both houses
of Congress vehemently oppose the selection of a pro-abortion senator to lead
this powerful committee. In a letter to supporters sent out during his failed
1996 bid for the Presidency, Senator Specter called Christian religious leaders
such as Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson "radical extremists" and noted
that pro-life supporters were part of the "far-right fringe". In
the same 1995 letter, Sen. Specter speaks adamantly about his pro-abortion position
and states "I will stand up and fight those who want to criminalize abortion,
those who would prosecute a woman and her doctor when they exercise the woman's
right to choose." The Chairman's position in the Senate Judiciary Committee
"screens" all the president's nominees to the federal courts--including
the U.S. Supreme Court. Arlen Specter has consistently supported pro-abortion,
pro-homosexual politics and been against the public acknowledgement of God during
his time in the Senate Please help us block his nomination to the Judiciary
Committee! To find your nearest senator's office, please click HERE.
