Point: If President Bush was a Democrat, the liberal media would be hailing
him as a man of "principle over party" instead of applying that
phrase to turncoat Senators like James Jeffords. They'd be saying
Bush was courageous for not allowing his Administration to be held
hostage by a minority of opposing Democrats who were working
against his agenda and what he, as the elected President, views best for
the nation.
Point: The President has the opportunity to prove he is strong enough to take a short-term loss in the Senate in order to make a long-term point, even if other liberal Republicans are threatening to defect. Point: As suggested in our Sample Letter to the President, it is time that President Bush go over the liberal media's heads, bypass his many fierce critics and help to defuse his Democratic and "Independent" opposition by speaking directly to the American people. We urge him to address the nation and highlight in his speech a specific call for the people's strong support of his judicial nominees. "Bush Needs More Face Time," by Mona Charen ( 06-03-01) | ||
| Our Push | ||
| Utilize the above information and analysis plus the following case facts
to expand on the same points you make in your letters to the President,
Senators, and Judiciary Committee members, based on our samples.
Reiterate those themes in letters-to-the-editor, and to our targeted talk radio and television outlets. (See the accompanying "How to Promote Court Reform in the Media" lobbying guide.) | ||
| The Proof | ||
| To highlight the urgent need for federal Court Reform and the approval of President Bush's restraintist nominees, cite specific
activist rulings by the federal courts and current pending cases such as:
Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition
Books v Elkhart
Chandler v. Siegelman (orig. Chandler v. James)
PGA Tour v Martin | ||
