Friend,

We’re now less than a week until the State of the Union and already 5,000
People For members have signed our petition calling for President Biden to
celebrate his progress on filling judicial vacancies and calling on the
Senate to confirm more – but your name is missing.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to add your name and urge President Biden to celebrate this
incredible progress and tell him to encourage the Senate to confirm more
nominees! >>

There are signs our pressure is getting through to White House officials,
too!

In fact, White House Deputy Communications Director, Herbie Ziskend,
recently tweeted out People For President Svante Myrick’s op-ed
celebrating President Biden’s progress on judicial nominees and urging him
to use the State of the Union to encourage even more progress! It’s clear
that the administration knows we’re paying attention and that we expect
them to continue pressing the case for confirmations of their judicial
nominees.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from White House official Herbie Zisken, which states: SvanteMyrick :
President Biden has an excellent opportunity...to take credit for his record in
filling the federal courts with exceptionally talented, fair-minded judges with
a commitment to equal justice. 1/

Once you’ve signed, encourage your friends and loved ones to do the same!
The more we can encourage President Biden to mention judicial nominees
during the State of the Union, the better!

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For

----[previous message]----

Friend,

For years, Donald Trump – aided by Senator Mitch McConnell – stacked our
federal courts (and the Supreme Court) with far-right ideologues that they
knew would rubberstamp their extremist agenda.

Throughout that time and ever since, we’ve experienced the consequences of
these right-wing nominations: erosion of our fundamental rights and
freedoms and rulings that favor corporations, the wealthy, and
well-connected – while running roughshod over everyday Americans.

We knew that to overcome these setbacks, it was urgent that President
Biden nominate fair-minded judges to fill vacancies across the judiciary,
and thankfully he’s made incredible progress: confirming more than 175
federal judges to lifetime seats on the bench.

While we celebrate the progress made so far, we must continue to push for
more confirmations to fill the vacancies across the judiciary. [ [link removed] ]This is
why I am reaching out to urge you to take action and sign our petition
calling on President Biden to prioritize judicial confirmations during his
upcoming State of the Union address. >>

The State of the Union presents a crucial opportunity for President Biden
to emphasize the importance of a fully functioning judiciary in upholding
the rule of law and protecting the rights of all Americans. As People For
president Svante Myrick put it in a recent op-ed:

“The justice system isn’t simple or easy to talk about. But President
Biden understands the importance of the courts in our daily lives, which
is why he has invested so much of his administration’s efforts in
filling the courts with exceptional judges. The State of the Union gives
him a chance to speak movingly about courts and the difference he has
made — and hopes to continue to make — through his judicial
appointments.”

By urging President Biden to highlight the need for more confirmations, we
can ensure that this issue remains at the forefront of the national
conversation and that the Senate is compelled to take swift action.

Your support in signing this petition will send a powerful message to
President Biden and lawmakers that the American people are committed to a
fair and impartial judiciary. Together, we can make a difference and
ensure that our courts reflect the diversity and values of our nation.

[ [link removed] ]Please take a moment to sign the petition and share it with your
friends, family, and colleagues. Every signature counts in our fight for a
judiciary that truly serves all Americans. >>

Thanks for all that you do to restore balance and integrity to our federal
judiciary.

– People For the American Way
