Republican Senator vs. Bush Judicial Nominees

"Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every
town the LORD your God is giving you, and they shall judge the
people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not
accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists
the words of the righteous. Follow justice and justice alone, so
that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving
you."
- Deuteronomy 16:18-20

Our nation has been under attack for years by judges who have
abandoned their duty to the people and have sought to impose a
radical social agenda on our country. We have seen them declare the
unborn innocents not deserving of life, we have seen them rip God's
law out of our nation's government and schools, and we have seen
them promote destructive and ungodly lifestyles, while censoring the
teaching of morality.

Many Christians today think this battle is being won, and in some
cases it is, but the fight continues. Many Christians think that we
can go back to sleep because the elections are now over. Many
Christians are wrong. We must stay involved or we will lose our
nation and our freedoms.

A case in point is the pending chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. This committee will decide which judges get a vote in the
Senate and which pieces of legislation that deal with illegally
operating judges ever see the light of day. The chairman of this
powerful committee will decide which judges and which legislation
get a hearing. The senator who is next in line to head up this
committee, because he is the longest serving member of the committee
who wants the position, is Senator Arlen Specter. Senator Specter is
a solidly pro-choice, pro-gay agenda politician and has strongly
implied that he will not allow any pro-life judges on the bench. In
making these implications that reveal his partiality and his desire
to twist the justice system for his own agenda, he has shown he does
not fit the biblical requirements to occupy a position of this
nature, and he must be opposed.

What You Can Do

In less than two weeks, the Republican senators will be gathering to
select who will be chairing the various committees. Senator Specter
must not be allowed to become Chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Since the Republican Party is the party with the most
members in the Senate, only the Republican senators will choose who
chairs each committee. Democratic senators do not take part in this
decision.

We need you to contact your Republican senators by sending e-mails
and by making phone calls today! You can call the Capitol Hill
Switchboard at 202.224.3121, and they will let you know if your
senators are Republican (Democratic senators, since they are in the
minority, do not have a say in this matter) and will be able to
connect you to their offices. When you are connected please simply
tell them that you "solidly oppose Senator Specter becoming Chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Committee."

You can also send e-mails to your senators by visiting
www.joycemeyer.org/judges.html.

In both cases, make sure you only contact Republican senators, and
we would also suggest not contacting Senator Specter's office
directly.

We must continually stand in defense of our freedoms and our
God-given rights. Together we are turning this nation back to God!
