My Friends,
We have a lot at stake in this presidential election. As a
nation, we face many challenges that will require real leadership from
our next president. I have said before that this election will be about
the big things, not the small things, and I write to you today about one
big issue in particular - the future of the U.S. Supreme Court. If
one of my Democratic opponents is elected in November, you can rest
assured that given the opportunity to appoint judges, they will appoint
those who make law with disregard for the will of the people.
There may be at least two vacancies on the United States
Supreme Court during the next presidential term. As president, I will
ensure that only those judges with a strict interpretation of the
Constitution of the United
States are appointed. I will
nominate judges who understand that their role is to faithfully apply the
law as written, not impose their opinions through judicial fiat.
If you want judges who have a clear, complete adherence to
the Constitution of the United
States and who do not legislate from
the bench to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, then I ask that you join my
campaign for president today by making a financial contribution.
I am proud to have played a role in the appointment and
nomination of two great Supreme Court justices - Chief Justice John
Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito I need your support now so that as your president I
can nominate judges like Justices Roberts and Alito - judges who
have proven themselves worthy of our trust. Judges who take as their sole
responsibility the enforcement of laws made by the people's
elected representatives. Judges who can be relied upon to respect the
values of the people whose rights, laws and property they are sworn to
defend.
My friends, the future of our country and of the Supreme Court
is at stake in this election. If either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama
is elected, both of whom voted against confirming Chief Justice Roberts
and Justice Alito, they will elect activist judges. They will elect
judges who legislate from the bench.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you how important even one
vote on the Supreme Court can be. Issues concerning states' rights,
abortion, affirmative action, the Second Amendment, and religious freedom
have all been decided by a very slim 5-4 margin.
America needs a leader
who recognizes that the people and the states should decide what's best,
not the courts. And in order to be that leader, I need your financial
support immediately.
Please follow this link to make an immediate donation of
$50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000- any amount up to the legal limit of
$2,300.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. To date, my Democrat opponents have raised almost $450
million in their efforts to win the White House. Both Senators Clinton
and Obama voted against confirming John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Both
Senators Clinton and Obama will nominate liberal, activist judges. As
your president, I will ensure that the Supreme Court protects our values.
Please follow this link and right away to make your
donation of any amount, up to the legal limit of $2,300. Every
contribution, no matter how big or small, is crucial to our efforts.
Thank you.
