Beyond all the bullshit promises about jobs, war, taxes and health care, here is the #1 reason why everyone who works in our industry needs to vote for Kerry:
In the next four years the acting President will be filling up to even three Supreme Court Justice positions. It has been 10 years since the last appointment, an unprecedented time period. Most likely to retire are Stevens, Rehnquist and O'Conner. Bush has made it clear with his Court of Appeals appointees that he plans to nominate conservative candidates.
Look at the history of the COPA and you will see why this is so critical for us. COPA narrowly escaped passage with a 5-4 vote in July. Stevens was on our side of that case. The Department of Justice has indicated that they will bring another version of COPA and it is likely that this issue will be revisited in the next 4 years.
On top of that specific case, in the next four years the Justices will also be looking at alot of issues that revolve around freedom of speech, the limits of police and state powers and church-state relations, all of which have an impact on our industry.
Do not sit idle while your future is being decided, this November election will allow the winner to mold the highest Court in the USA and will have a lasting impact for decades to come.
