Tell Judge John Roberts to release key documents!
Do you know that the Bush Administration still hasn't turned over key documents about Judge John Roberts that were requested by Judiciary Committee Democrats more than six weeks ago? A narrow, targeted request for documents related to only 16 cases where John Roberts played a leadership role as Principal Deputy Solicitor General for the first President Bush?
How can the Senate fulfill its constitutional "advice and consent" responsibility and vote on Judge Roberts' nomination without having all the facts?
Only one person will be able to get the White House to release these key documents -- and that’s Judge John Roberts himself.
Email Judge Roberts now, and call on him to urge the Administration to release these key documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee!

Subject: Release key documents requested by Senate Judiciary Committee
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Over six weeks ago, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee made a narrow request for documents related to only 16 cases where you played a leadership role during your time as Principal Deputy Solicitor General for the first President Bush.
This critical information would allow the Senate to make a better informed decision on your nomination. But the Administration has refused to release it.
We, the American people, deserve to know what kind of Chief Justice you would be. That's why our nation's founders entrusted the Senate with the responsibility to "advise and consent" on the President's judicial nominations.
Before Senators cast their votes, they must have all the information they need to make the right decision. I urge you to immediately call upon the White House to release the requested documents related to these 16 cases.
Sincerely,
