Say No to President Bush's Extreme Federal Judicial Nominee

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Richard Honaker, a former Wyoming state representative, is President Bush's pick for a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. Honaker is one of Bush's most anti-choice nominees to date. He has spent his career fighting to deny women access to safe, legal reproductive-health services. And now Bush has nominated him for a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

At this pivotal time in history, it's so important that an open and fair-minded federal judge be appointed - not someone bent on interfering with women's personal choices. Send your message telling the Senate that Bush's anti-choice nominee, Richard Honaker, is too extreme for the federal bench!

Dear Senator [Name],

As a constituent, I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the nomination of Richard Honaker to the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming.

Honaker has spent his career fighting to deny women access to safe, legal reproductive-health services. He publicly and actively opposes abortion, saying it is "wrong, and no one should have the right to do what is wrong," and tried three times to ban abortion in Wyoming.

By nominating Richard Honaker to a lifetime judgeship, President Bush has shown yet again that he is totally out of step with the views of mainstream America. Honaker led the push for a ballot measure to ban abortion, which Wyoming voters resoundingly rejected. Now I urge you to do the same with this nomination.
We signed the “Say No to President Bush's Extreme Federal Judicial Nominee” petition!

Don't support anything with Bush's name attached to it. This is a wrong choice for America.

I have never had to make a choice about abortion, but if I did I would think it was my choice and nobody elses. Women can make intelligent informed decisions about their bodies on their own. We have enough unwanted children on this planet. I would resent being forced to have an unwanted child. I can't beleive that people could be so primitive as to force women to have unwanted babies.

Dear Mr President: We need someone fair minded on the bench. Why do you want to ruin the USA . It is time to leave just leave. I feel if the services are need it should be a personal service that is legal. I knew how it was when it was not legal. I know people that died because it was not legal and they were afraid to get help when things got out of hand. We do not want to go back there.I know that to put someone on the bench that will smile and say NO is so wrong. Suppose it was your family member?

so fair minded how? you want someone that just agrees with you, you didn't give me enough information sources you just made a general statement about this guy, if I hear he has done something wrong I will sign this but just to say a general statment about woman't rights is a weak argument, and sounds like a witch hunt.
