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!

We need to support women's right to all forms of healthcare. I feel this is not just about abortion, but leads into the blocking of many other medical treatments for women.

Government has no business regulating what people do with their bodies, regardless of gender. He's the wrong choice plain and simple. This charade needs to stop now.

Come on! Why did we vote in a Democratic Congress and Senate if no one gives damn and still allows Bush free reign? This is ridiculous already. This nominee should have been taken from the bench years ago and now Bush wants to put him in a position of extreme power?! Bush and Cheney should have been impeached. They are turning our country into a fascist regime. Soon, we will be on the verge of becoming a third world country. Can we get some help from our own people who are supposed to represent us? Wake up!

Honaker's record indicates an extreme bias against women. Tell Bush to make another selection. Is Honaker in the oil business tod or does he hunt with "Sureshot Cheney"/

We've had enough right wing extremism and the other ism's to last a life time. Don't accept another Bush nominee for any office, they are destructive, deceitful and deadly.
