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!

PLEASE DO YOUR JOB. Most Americans want our judges to be fair but as usual, King George has nominated a man that wants to control and dominate. You were elected to uphold the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution for all citizens ... including women.

Quit playing rollover. This guy's never going to make nice. Your failure to stand up for what matters has already caused enough damage--find your spine!!!

We need to be supported 100% in whatever our decisions are, and by choosing to nominate someone who is anti-choice does exactly the opposite and closes the door to many!

I am opposed to this candidate as federal judge because of his stance on women's issues/rights. We need a candidate who is more neutral.

A federal judge should be able to be fair and open minded. This man is completely biased and giving a lifetime judicial appointment to him flies in the face of democracy. Please curtail President Bush's self serving actions. He has already made it clear that he only cares about views that support his own personal beliefs. Someone needs to look out for the interests of the rest of the country. I hope that someone will be you.

Please let reason, a sense of conscience, and common sense dictate future decisions. That definately rules out any of Bush's choices.

When we are given control over your reproductive organs then you can have control over our ovaries. Until that time, keep your hands and laws off our bodies.

I think Bush couldnt care less about womens rights, poor peoples rights or elderly/homeless rights. He's not the people's man.

Perhaps if this biased judge and the men nominating him were actually women they would reconsider the value of the word "choice".
