Kevin “Coach” Collins

We seem to have beaten back Cap and Trade. Nancy Pelosi embarrassed herself and ended up getting it through with a slim margin narrowly withstanding the humiliating defection of 44 Democrats. Nevertheless, Obama’s constant attacks are far from over. We can’t rest for a minute in our fight for America.

Radical Socialist: Sotomayor

The next fight is keeping Sonia Sotomayor off the Supreme Court. Because of Harry Reid’s ineptitude it won’t be an easy task. Reid is frightened of the matter. His popularity is waning in Nevada and Obama’s popularity is sinking nationally. It appears Reid has made a tactical error by holding up Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings. Instead of watching Pelosi’s circus, he should have fast tracked the hearings and rammed her through while the nation’s attention was focused elsewhere.

Now the “ram through” window might be closed. While Reid was treading water, Senate Republicans were diligently working to discover damaging material about Sotomayor and they have. What’s been discovered isn’t helpful for her.

She was a member of the legal staff of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund when it handled a case similar to the Ricci matter in which she was a reversed. A group of Puerto Rican (not American by their own designation) New York City Sanitation workers complained of a lack of promotions because of their “race.” Sotomayor helped them sue the city.

Caught Red handed

Senator Jeff Sessions, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee has examined hundreds of newly discovered pages of material about Sotomayor. He reports they prove she’s totally immersed in the belief that racial preferences must trump the constitution. The longer Reid waits the more stink will rise from Sotomayor. Americans are withdrawing their support for her. Maybe Reid’s waited too long.

Stopping Sotomayor is a fight worth waging.

Our efforts made the difference in the Cap and Trade vote. We have enormous power to change things but we have to use our power. Put your Representative’s phone number on your speed dial. Get plugged in to what is happening to our country. You can plan to ignore the enemies of our country, but they won’t ignore you.
Sure you SHOULDN’T HAVE to do all of this just to live your life, but if you don’t you won’t be living the life you want to live.
