This week, the Senate will vote on Fifth Circuit judicial nominee Leslie Southwick, whose record establishes that he is not qualified for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. Senate Republican Leadership is putting enormous pressure on Democrats to approve Southwick's nomination. It is critical that your Senator hear from you now.

On the Mississippi Court of Appeals, Judge Leslie Southwick consistently favored corporations, insurance companies, and other powerful interests over vulnerable American workers and consumers. His record calls into question his commitment to equal dignity and equal justice for minorities. At his hearing, Judge Southwick did nothing to allay these serious concerns.

Call your Senator to vote against Leslie Southwick.

Judge Southwick should not be entrusted with enforcing our vital federal civil rights, discrimination, labor and environmental laws. Read Alliance for Justice's comprehensive report and call your Senator to vote against Leslie Southwick.
