The left is going all out to stop Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination and to lie, cheat, and steal their way into the White House. We have very little time to fight them, so please do all that you can this week!

Please note: If you live in a state in reasonable travel distance of Washington, DC, we need you to show up on October 12th to show support for Amy Coney Barrett. The left is going to have a presence and we need to show up to show Republican Senators that the America people expect them to do their jobs and confirm Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court without delay. We cannot be more serious when we say we need patriots to show up on Monday, October 12, 2020 in Washington, DC, to ensure Republican Senators are emboldened. More details will be released this week on when and where to meet up. We’re calling on you New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire! In the meantime, please complete this form to let us know if you can make it!

Weekly Sign Waving Events Now

The left is going to be out in the streets protesting against Amy Coney Barrett and President Trump, as well as the onslaught from the mainstream media. Please organize sign/flag waving events now and get them on people’s calendars now. If you live near a local Senate office, hold the event outside of the office. If you don’t live near one, hold the event at a busy intersection or another location where there is a lot of traffic going by.

Your sign waving might be some of the only pro-Trump and pro-Barrett messaging that people in your community see. We’ve noted which days have things happening that day. Otherwise, make the event a “Confirm Amy” theme and/or pro-Trump theme, or a flag waving event. If Judge Barrett is confirmed at some point, we will update you with messaging for these events.

• This Thursday, October 8th
• Monday, October 12th
• Thursday, October 15th
• Thursday, October 29th
• Monday, November 2nd

Sample Amy Coney Barrett Sign Messages:

• Fill the Seat Now!

• Confirm Amy Coney Barrett now!

• Amy Coney Barrett loves the Constitution! Fill the Seat Now!

• #ConfirmAmy

• America supports Amy Coney Barrett!

Call your Republican Senator About the Supreme Court

To call your Senators, no matter the party, simply dial (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senator by name and you will be connected. If you need to look up the name and party of your Senators, use the map on this page. Just click on your state and it will show you your Senators.

• Call your Republican Senator(s) and tell them to Fill the Seat Now, before the election. Tell them to stay strong against the attacks from the left, and that the American people will have their backs.
  
  Sample Script
  “Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I live in [City, State]. I’m calling to urge the Senator to support Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination and to confirm her quickly before the election. Thank you!”
  
  
• Call your Democrat Senator(s) and tell them to meet with Amy Coney Barrett. Right now, Democrats are refusing to even meet with her. This is unacceptable.
  
  Sample Script
  “Hi, my name is [You Name], and I live in [City, State]. I’m calling to urge the Senator to meet with Amy Coney Barrett. It is unacceptable to refuse to meet with her and defies precedent and norms. Thank you.”

Sign up for our Supreme Court Action Coalition Group

If you received an email last week with a notice that we are reactivating the Trump Defense Team/Fight Impeachment group, then you are already on this email list. If you didn’t receive that email, then you will want to make sure you get signed up for the coalition group that will work to support President Trump’s SCOTUS nominee. You will receive emails with messaging, news, action items, and more that are specific to this Supreme Court seat fight. Sign up here.

There is less than one month until the election! We have no time to waste!

Please sign up for one or more Get Out The Vote efforts (texting, calling, or mailing letters), and get every Trump voter you know to sign up too!

There is still a drastic shortage of poll workers. Use our very short How-To Guide to help you figure out if you are eligible and how to sign up.

Note that NOW is the time to be signing up because there are usually trainings that you must be able to go through, and there will be deadlines for completing those trainings.

Also, in many states, teens can sign up to be poll workers. Since many kids aren’t in school right now, get them to help! Plus, in most states, poll workers get paid, and what teen doesn’t want a little extra money?

If you can’t be a poll worker because of health issues, you might be able to help someone else sign up by offering to watch their kids. Again, since many kids aren’t in school right now, there might be parents who want to sign up, but need help watching their kids for the day.

The number one way we can stop the election from being stolen is to get as many voters to vote in person as possible, where it is appropriate. Therefore, if you are able, please sign this pledge to vote in person, and then make sure to do it!

NOTE: If you are high-risk and need to stay away from public places for your health, or you live in a state where there is no in-person voting at all (like Washington state), this does not apply to you. We’ve also heard from an activist in New Jersey who said that in NJ, the situation may be different, so be sure to reach out to other activists in your state to see what they are saying about the best way to vote in your state.

This week, we are taking a look at the Founders’ thoughts on the judiciary and the concept of “judicial supremacy.” As we are, yet again, in a Supreme Court seat battle, we thought it was a good time to learn about the Founders’ intents when it came to the courts.

With your family, read through this report from The Heritage Foundation, titled, “Against Judicial Supremacy: The Founders and the Limits on the Courts.”

Here is the summary of the report:

Americans’ contemporary understanding of judicial power is inconsistent with the argument put forward by Hamilton and Madison in The Federalist. Although The Federalist affirms the power of judicial review—and hence the role of the judiciary as a check on the other branches—it does not present this as the first or most important function of the courts. Moreover, The Federalist does not support the vast implications of judicial review as including a power to decide the great moral issues of the times and to adjust the Constitution to trends in public opinion. Finally, The Federalist lends no aid to the belief that the Supreme Court is the ultimate interpreter of constitutional meaning, unanswerable for its interpretations to any authority but itself.

While it remains important – critical, even – to confirm originalist, constitutionalist judges to all levels of the judiciary, it is equally important that we understand and teach our kids and grandkids about the role that the Founders actually intended for the judiciary.

Turn the “key takeaways” at the start of the report into questions to discuss as a family:

1. How was The Federalist’s understanding of the judicial power significantly more circumscribed than is understood by many Americans today?
2. Why is this original account of judicial power more consistent with republican self-government and the sovereignty of the American people?
3. Discuss the idea that Congress may rightly discipline the judiciary by impeaching and removing from office judges who abuse the judicial power, and how that would affect the future of the American experiment.

Thank you!

In liberty,
