As tomorrow?s submission deadline approaches, we are pleased toreport that this year's Naughty and Nice lists will be ourlongest yet! We have enjoyed reading each and every one of yourclever and insightful suggestions. These nominations havebrought us much delight in what is a hectic and busy time aroundthe office, but we have been disturbed by one clear trend: Yousure do know a lot of naughty people! From the Bush administration to your next door neighbor, thenumber of people reported as being naughty far outweighs thosesubmitted for the nice list. Want to help us turn that trendaround? Just add your name to the Nice list by making atax-deductible end of year contribution to Alliance for Justice.http://ga1.org/ct/11xHL6E1Qz20/ What?s the reward for being nice? We thought you would neverask. Here are some of the gifts we plan to deliver to each ofyou throughout the coming months: Take back our courts - We will work with the Obamaadministration to secure the nomination and appointment ofjudges who uphold the core Constitutional values of personalfreedom and equal justice for all, and who come from a widerange of backgrounds in civil rights and public interest. Demand justice for all - We will press Congress to pass oramend legislation that restores basic rights taken away byultra-conservative judges, such as: the crucial Equal Pay Act,and ensuring corporations can be held accountable for theiractions in our courts. Build for the Future - We will strengthen the advocacycapacity of the progressive community by expanding ourworkshops, technical assistance expertise and online tools fornonprofits and foundations across the country. Restore integrity to our government - We will ensure that newofficials at the Department of Justice restore integrity andaccountability, and that the practices of the last eight yearsare eradicated. Celebrate - We will take action in celebration of AFJ?s 30thanniversary. As the end of the year fast approaches, please take the time tomake a donation and make certain the Naughty list shrinks in2009 and for many years to come. We know this is a difficulteconomic time for many of us. Your tax-deductible contributionof just $50 before December 31 makes all the difference inensuring we have the necessary resources to hit the groundrunning in 2009. http://ga1.org/ct/11xHL6E1Qz20/ It?s a new day in Washington. After eight years of fighting toprotect the most basic civil and Constitutional rights, we cannow begin to put our country back on track and that will requiremore work than ever before.
