Take Action to Move 17 Judicial Nominees Forward

We just recently updated you about how a minority of Senators have continued to block yes-or-no votes for judicial nominees, some who have been waiting for months. Yesterday, in a bold move for justice, Senate Majority Leader Reid filed cloture on 17 nominations, in order to move them one step closer to a yes-or-no vote on the Senate floor. Your Senators need to hear from you to ensure that these nominees receive a yes-or-no vote.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AT 1-866-338-5720 TODAY! Tell them:

  • I am your constituent and I live...
  • I am calling to urge the Senator to allow yes-or-no votes on all 17 judicial nominees for whom Senate Majority Leader Reid filed cloture petitions.
  • With 83 judgeships sitting empty, 35 of which are considered judicial emergencies, the Senate's continued failure to act is unconscionable.
  • Americans deserve to have a federal judiciary that is functioning at full capacity.

Thank you for continuing to work to advance the rights of women and families, including their access to the courts.

Stop holding the Country hostage

Most likely President Obama will be elected this fall. I hope the majority of voters realize that keeping the Republicans in the minority is in the best interests of the country. The only thing they know is GRIDLOCK.
