Help Stop Controversial Justice Department Nominee

By Richard Land - Feb 25, 2009 - comment

Dear Friends:

David Ogden—a man who has represented Playboy and Penthouse before the courts, provided legal counsel to Planned Parenthood, and supported special protections for homosexuals—could soon be confirmed as deputy attorney general. He is scheduled to be voted on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee for the second highest position in the U.S. Justice Department.

During his legal career, Ogden has argued against laws to protect children from pornography and sued the federal government to force the Library of Congress to publish a Playboy publication in Braille using taxpayer dollars. We will spare you the more offensive details of these and other cases he has defended in the courtroom. He has also said “the right to secure an abortion is fundamental,” and has opposed parental notification laws for girls as young as 14.

Does this sound like someone fit for a position to help protect our families? We don’t think so.

If you agree, please contact your senators immediately if they sit on the Judiciary Committee, and urge them to oppose the confirmation of David Ogden. Even if your senators are not members of the committee, it is important that they hear from you since the full Senate could vote on Ogden soon after the committee vote.

You can call them by dialing the Capitol switchboard at 202/224-3121. Or click here to e-mail them a suggested letter or one entirely your own.
