ACTION NEEDED TODAY!
Dear Grassroots Leadership Friends,

How do you like the idea of the General Counsel for Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the world's largest for-profit private prison corporation, being confirmed as a Federal judge--in the very same judicial district in which CCA is headquartered, and in which over 400 cases against CCA or CCA employees have been filed?

You can help help stop this! Call today (202-224-7703) or send a fax (202-224-9516) to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be holding confirmation hearings this Tuesday, February 12, and tell them you unconditionally oppose this profound judicial conflict of interest.

If a U.S. Senator from your state is on the Senate Judiciary Committee (list below), please call their office as well to tell them of your opposition.

Information about Gustavus A. Puryear IV, including specifics about why this would be an egregious miscarriage of justice, is on the attached flyer. More information is available at www.againstpuryear.org.

Thanks as always for helping Grassroots Leadership fight for justice for all.

In solidarity,

Si Kahn, Executive Director
