I hope it's alright, but I received this today in the mail from a friend and I'm passing on the gist of it here (see below)...the reason being that I think this is prophetic of what the future months hold in store for us. Bush knows that his ultra right conservative constituents are angry with him for not being more radical on certain promised policies. So while we're busy talking and arguing over whether Nader should be throwing his hat into the ring, this is what we need to remember about Mr Bush and his cronies; they are not going to stop. And though Kerry, (who is not my first-nor my second, third, nor fourth choice)...is more likely than ever to be the Democratic nominee, he is closer to the line that needs to be drawn as soon as possible. I respect everything Ralph Nader has said, and I supported him last election time...but now, we need to think about anyone who can stop, or at least slow down, the current regeme. Kerry will certainly not be able to change much, but he can stop certain things from beginning. Nader can bring up important points, and perhaps that will always be his job...but the reality of NOW, and not the fall of a decadent empire which may come down the road...is that the Bush Administration is very very dangerous. President Bush bypassed the Senate and confirmed a staunch anti-choice advocate William Pryor to the courts. The Senate has been filibustering Pryor for several months based on his controversial, out-of-the-mainstream record. Pryor has stated that "abortion is murder" and does not believe that the Constitution protects a woman's right to choose. Please take a minute to send a message to your Senators and help show that the public will not stand for this. http://prochoiceaction.org/campaign/pryor_recessappt_0204?rk=VpaR0R61IBfpW
