Please call your senators and pass the email on if you are worried about any of the following issues:
birth control, access to safe and legal abortion, equal pay for women, civil rights, lesbian or gay rights, workers' rights, separation of church and state.
Roberts is really really really bad news, and as Chief Justice, he gets to pick the cases that are heard, and even choose the justices that write opinions. Go to http://www.capwiz.com/now/home/ to take action. Calling your senators would be *EXTREMELY* helpful.
Another way to take action is to join us at a rally in Raleigh on Wednesday, Sept 21 at 5pm. These rallies are to publicize issues with Supreme Court Chief Justice Nominee John Roberts.
The main site is Wade Ave, across from the Whole Foods (near the beltline).
Please join us if you can. RSVP so I can bring enough signs, 539-7702. Thanks.
p.s. The Independent (Triangle weekly paper) has an informative article on Roberts this week. Grab one if you can.
Please join us - rain or shine!
Raleigh NOW has organized 3 rallies around Raleigh for 5:30pm on Wednesday, Sept 14. These rallies are to publicize issues with Supreme Court Chief Justice Nominee John Roberts.
The main site will be at 6500 Glenwood Avenue, on the sidewalk near the WalMart.
Please join us if you can. Thanks.
Contact: 539-7702 cell
Note: See More on Sept 8 Rally in previous entry.
The public information on John Roberts raises serious and grave concerns. The stakes could not be higher on the issues of the environment, civil rights, workers rights, privacy and women's health. North Carolinians deserve to know where Roberts stands on these issues, and we need your help! Please join our Just Ask for Justice Campaign and encourage Burr and Dole to ask the Judiciary Committee ask Roberts where he stands on these issues.
