Washington, D.C. - The Judicial Confirmation Network today released a new radio ad featuring Rev. Bill Owens of the Coalition of African-American Pastors that will run beginning today through Friday (the twelfth day of Christmas) on Christian and gospel radio stations in Arkansas.
"This ad speaks directly to Judge Alito's terrific judicial record in defense of religious freedom for all Americans of every faith. We have just seen in the current Christmas and Chanukah seasons that hostility to religion or religious expression is alive and well - and that hostility is led by the organizations now opposing Judge Alito. Senators are soon going to be deciding if they support Judge Alito and his record in defense of religious liberty, or whether they will side with the extremists opposing him.
"This ad, now running in Arkansas, is intended as a friendly reminder that Judge Alito's record of protecting religious liberty is more reflective of mainstream Arkansas values than the hostility to religion of his opponents," said Gary Marx, executive director of the Judicial Confirmation Network.
"Please take the time to contact both Senator Lincoln and Senator Pryor and tell them to not join forces with these extremists. Tell them you want a champion, a protector of religious liberty on the Supreme Court. Ask them to vote for Judge Alito," says the Rev. Bill Owens in the ad.
Press inquiries should be directed to Sean McCabe (smccabe@crc4pr.com).
