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!

Bush has already done enough damage to this country and the people. Bush does nothing in the best interest of the people and this judge does not sound like the best choice for the people either. Please do not vote for him.

Someone with views this extreme should not be a judge; he should be an attorney for the anti-choice lobby. Impartial is one of the most important words to describe a judge, and it does not describe Mr. Honaker.

Judges should represent all the people and not be political. This judge has not demonstrated those skills for a life time position!

Choice is the law of the land. Until Congress changes the law, there should be no appointment to any court who does not support the law. It is time for Congress to assert its role in the governmental process, and to uphold the rule of law.

Bush is so out of touch with both reality and the mainstream of the U.S. Population that he needs to be reined in when he makes extreme choices such as this

If you don't know by now why this person should NOT be considered, then there is no hope for any of us. Just remember, election time is coming up.

It's time to stop taking steps backward when it comes to human rights, including women's rights. This should be a no-brainer.
