Thumbs up Stand with Judge Sotomayor

Stand with Judge Sotomayor Against the Right-Wing Attacks

Presente has organized a grassroots campaign to let ordinary citizens send the following message to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

We are outraged by the smear campaign against Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Instead of discussing her record, right-wing activists have sought to question Sotomayor’s intelligence and temperament, and suggested that her racial identity will prevent her from ruling fairly. This thinly veiled racism and sexism is not only insulting to Sotomayor, it's an affront to anyone who believes that a nominee should be judged on her record, not her heritage or skin tone.

The reality is that Sotomayor is an accomplished judge who would start with more federal judicial experience than any Supreme Court justice in 100 years. In her more than 3,000 panel decisions and almost 400 opinions, she has consistently protected the rights of working Americans and become one of the nation’s most respected legal minds. Sotomayor is not only a superbly qualified nominee; she is a powerful example of the American dream and knows how the law affects the daily lives of Americans.

I stand with Judge Sotomayor, and urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to give her nomination a speedy hearing and a positive confirmation.

Presente.org exists to advance the interests and promote the political empowerment of Latino communities with the support of our allies.
Golly, you don't suppose they have a prejudiced perspective on these "attacks", do you?

Politicians get away with neglecting our interests and exploiting the differences within our communities.
They should wake up and realize that the politicians they speak of are mostly their beloved Dems.


On another note, I am glad to have gotten this response in before you decided to close this thread like your latest Tiller love thread, Nonothing.
