Subject: Confirm Judge Alito

Today, President Bush announced his nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to serve as the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Judge Alito is an exceptionally well-qualified nominee who has served for 15 years on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and before that as a U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. Law journals have hailed Judge Alito as "one of our profession's best" and The Almanac of the Federal Judiciary calls him "brilliant" with an "excellent demeanor." By nominating Judge Alito, President Bush continues to fulfill his commitment to appoint qualified judges whowill not legislate from the bench.

Senate Democrats are already on the attack, and they will hold nothing back in obstructing this highly qualified nominee. Don't let the spin from media pundits or attacks from Democrats distort Judge Alito's distinguished record as a judge, former federal prosecutor and public servant. The best antidote to their spin is your voice. Here's what you can do right now to ensure a timely confirmation:

1. Sign our petition (http://www.gop.com/getactive/) in support of Judge Alito - and forward the petition to your friends.

2. Call your Senators (http://www.gop.com/getactive/). Tell them Judge Alito has your support and deserves theirs.

3. Call talk radio (http://www.gop.com/getactive/), write a letter to the editor of your local paper (http://www.gop.com/getactive/) and tell your friends and neighbors why you support the President's choice.

Learn more about Judge Alito's record at http://www.gop.com/issue/nominations/.

Judge Alito is a fair-minded jurist with an impeccable track record of interpreting the law, not making it.

What you do right now will greatly influence the outcome of this nomination, the future of the Supreme Court, and the direction of our country. Sign the petition to confirm Judge Alito. Contact your Senators. Call talk radio. Letyour voice be heard in support of President Bush's choice.

Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman,
RNC Chairman

PalmAddicts: Palm Powered Desk Reference

The Palm Powered Desk Reference from Grassia Network Solutions, written by Alan M. Grassia, is the perfect tool for both novice and expert Palm users. I've been using Palm devices for several years, and while I'm not the most knowledgeable Palm user in the community, I didn't expect to learn much from this little (109 pages) book.

It wouldn't be fair to the author to share all that I learned in this forum, but I will share the highlights here and encourage you to pick up a copy to keep at the ready on your desk or in your briefcase.

The Palm Powered Desk Reference covers topics from the most basic, such as how to set up your new Palm device to work with your PC, to more advanced topics, such as hiding unwanted ROM Applications (that constantly annoying but rarely used Quick Tour) from your launcher.

Did you know that your Palm device is equipped with a special Reset feature designed to reset the charging circuitry when your handheld will not recharge or powers off immediately after being turned on? Complete details are provided in the first chapter (available for free download), including detailed explanations of every Reset method available.

If you're a long time Palm user, you've probably had a taste of the handwriting text-entry methods known as Graffiti and Graffiti2. If so, like many Palm users, you likely stand strongly in support of one over the other. In the Palm Powered Desk Reference, Alan Grassia tells how you can likely have the text-entry method you prefer, regardless of which one was preinstalled on your device.

Happy with your Palm m515 or other hanheld and you just don't want to let go of it, but still want to get the best of the software available on today's newer devices? The Palm Powered Desk Reference will show you how to run the newest PIMs on your beloved older device.

Learn more about backup power sources available for non-VFS devices, and if you aren't sure what VFS is, you'll learn that as well, and how you can benefit from upgrading to a device with VFS.

The Palm Powered Desk Reference discusses several launcher applications that will not only spice up the appearance of your Palm Powered device, but also increase the functionality, including one very simple yet useful launching tool from PalmAddict's very own Tyler Faux that was news to this writer.

And for those PalmAddicts like Sammy who are also MacAddicts, the Palm Powered Desk Reference is an indispensable tool for getting the most from the marriage of a Mac and a Palm Powered handheld device.

That's just a sampling of the wealth of information you'll find in Grassia Network Solutions Palm Powered Desk Reference by Alan M. Grassia, available for only $24.00 plus shipping and handling at the Grassnet Store, and that's for a printed copy that you can actually put on your desk and refer to when your Palm or PC are unavailable or, God forbid, crashed. For more information, email Grassia Network Solutions.

A thorough, well-written guide in every-day language, not techno-babble, the Palm Powered Desk Reference is a must-have for every Palm Addict, from beginning to long-time users.

AOL News - Bush Picks Alito as New Supreme Court Choice

AOL News - Bush Picks Alito as New Supreme Court Choice:
"President Bush, stung by the rejection of his first choice, nominated longtime judge Samuel Alito Monday in a bid to reshape the Supreme Court and mollify his conservative allies. Democrats said that Alito may be 'too radical for the American people.'"
Let the Senate bickering begin!

President Bush's Weekly Radio Address

In his weekly radio address President Bush said, "The political process in Iraq now moves forward. Iraqis will return to the polls in December to elect a new government under their new constitution. This government will be our ally in the war on terror, a partner in the struggle for peace and moderation in the Muslim world, and an inspiration for people across the Middle East to claim their liberty as well."
