Urge Senators Alexander and Corker to speak up for LGBTQ people when the next Supreme Court justice is appointed

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is retiring so the President will name a successor who must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.  Sign to urge Senator Alexander and Senator Corker to speak up for the LGBTQ community during the confirmation process.  TEP will deliver a hard copy of the signatures to their offices.

Senator Alexander and Senator Corker:

When the President announces his choice to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, we urge you to speak up for the rights of LGBTQ people.  It is vitally important that members of the Supreme Court support the principle of "equal protection" and that Justice Kennedy's successor uphold the existing rights of LGBTQ people and oppose discrimination against LGBTQ people.  We respectfully ask you to raise these concerns publicly and not to vote for any nominee who supports discrimination.

    Gentlemen – we have come so far in the struggle to treat people of all creeds and orientations with the dignity they deserve as children of God. Our nation and our communities will not be whole until all people can breathe freely and know that they are as protected as their neighbors. Please speak up for the rights of the LGBTQ community when the Supreme Court hearings occur, and urge those you can influence to do the same. As a pastor for the last 20 years, I know the pain these individuals suffer when discrimination and hate surround them. It is unjust, and we are all losing out when we encourage discrimination through our legal and legislative systems. Thank you for the help you can give us as we continue to swim upstream in this unsettled and conflicted time.

    There should be no vote until after the election. If the argument held true for the last nomination, it holds true now.
