Washington D.C., Apr 13, 2005 / 22:00 pm
A leading grassroots organization has launched the first phase of a national television advertising campaign that points to the fallout of judicial activism and asks citizens to press their Senators for a vote on the president’s judicial nominees.
The ad campaign was organized by the Judicial Confirmation Network, which supports the confirmation of qualified judges to the federal courts.
The ad began airing nationally on cable television and in targeted states yesterday. It says arrogant, activist judges are undermining American values and ignoring the Constitution by ruling that the word “God” must be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance and that child pornography is protected as free speech.
The ad also states that President George W. Bush has called on judges to decide cases according to the law, not politics. The ad ends with a message urging citizens to contact their Senators and to tell them to support a fair vote on judges.
