Dear Londa, Thanks to your support, this past week saw AUL at the center of two national news stories, including an outstanding victory for life. The Associated Press, CBS News, and dozens of other media outlets across the country spotlighted Sotomayor411.com -- our one-stop resource for background on Judge Sotomayor’s record on our life issues -- and our campaign showing she would be “Worse than Souter.” In a case that featured heavy AUL involvement, the Fourth Circuit upheld Virginia’s partial-birth infanticide law. What’s more, the arguments our legal team presented to the court featured prominently in its decision. These and other AUL success stories testify to the power of our pro-life advocacy to influence minds and hearts. But we must reach higher. With the Sotomayor confirmation hearings set to begin on July 13, we need “all hands on deck” to show the Senate and the nation that Judge Sotomayor’s radical record -- including her longtime participation in a pro-abortion advocacy group -- makes her unfit for the highest court in the land. AUL is not only America’s oldest national nonprofit working exclusively to promote life. We also have the largest and most experienced team of pro-life attorneys working to defend life in law. We have already been meeting on Capitol Hill with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to brief them on Judge Sotomayor’s agenda and urge them to ask her the tough questions. But to do that takes long hours of legal research and lots of legwork on Capitol Hill. That’s why I’m asking you to stand with us. Our fiscal year ends on June 30, and we must close strong. Over the last few months we’ve been able to hire new attorneys -- Bill Saunders, a Harvard-trained expert in life issues, and Mary Harned, former Chief Counsel on the Judiciary Committee to Senator Tom Coburn -- and we plan to bring in even more expertise to keep the focus on life in these challenging times. We only have 48 hours left before we close out our books for the year. We need your support now to make sure Congress hears your opinions about Judge Sotomayor! Join our support team today. By acting before midnight, Tuesday, June 30, you further enable us for the confirmation battle which begins just two weeks from today. When U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, a pro-life Republican from South Carolina, asked Judge Sotomayor if she believed the unborn had any rights whatsoever, she told him she had “never thought about it.” We need to get the Senate Judiciary Committee to think about the consequences of confirming a Supreme Court justice whose radical record shows she would vote to overturn all legal protections for the unborn. Will you join us? Make your donation today and be part of this historic effort to protect and defend the hard-won victories of the pro-life movement. Thank you for supporting our work and and standing with us For Life! Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D. President & CEO Americans United for Life P.S. If Judge Sotomayor makes it to the U.S. Supreme Court, she will have the power to read a fundamental right to abortion into the Constitution. Send your donation by midnight tomorrow, June 30, and help us make sure the Senate Judiciary Committee calls her to account for her radical record.
