My Supreme Court nominee

I am proud to announce my nominee for the next Justice of the United States Supreme Court: Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

This decision affects us all -- and so it must involve us all. I've recorded a special message to personally introduce Judge Sotomayor and explain why I'm so confident she will make an excellent Justice. 

Please watch the video, and then pass this note on to friends and family to include them in this historic moment.

Judge Sotomayor has lived the America Dream. Born and raised in a South Bronx housing project, she distinguished herself in academia and then as a hard-charging New York District Attorney.

Judge Sotomayor has gone on to earn bipartisan acclaim as one of America's finest legal minds. As a Supreme Court Justice, she would bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any Justice in 100 years. Judge Sotomayor would show fidelity to our Constitution and draw on a common-sense understanding of how the law affects our day-to-day lives.

A nomination for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land is one of the most important decisions a President can make. And the discussions that follow will be among the most important we have as a nation. You can begin the conversation today by watching this special message and then passing it on:

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

Subject: Re: URGENT - NEED HELP - ASAP

Dear Friends: We have setup a privately run relief camp for thousands of  affectees of Swat operation and we are looking into adding one  more. This camp runs out of the Hujra of my Brother in-law in  Mardan and is directly supporting thousands of people that are  arriving in desperate situation specially women, children, and  seniors. My sister who is a clinical psychological is also helping   along with many other volunteers and supports. Most urgent items needed are medicine, cloths, food, and shelter.  People of Mardan have really revived the example of Ansar-e-Madina  and camp organizers have organized shelter for hundreds of  affectees in their own houses along with their families.  What we can do from our comfort zones? I really do not know the   exact answer! We can pray, we can write, and we can contribute money to assist  organizers to arrange for food, cloths, shelter, some basic toys  for kids, and most importantly necessary medicine. Please Note: Please do not wait for the donors, government promises  and American bills. Its time to think not about US but us and help  our own people. God help those who help themselves. This displacement is considered among the donor agencies and United  Nations as first of its kind in the history of Pakistan and stands  second to Rwanda! This is just the start of the crisis. So, please  think with love and respect before you contribute. Trust me, if it was a matter of few thousand rupees I would have   contributed that myself without asking anyone, but this is a real  tragedy and no matter how many charities come and work - it will  never be enough. We have a real chance here to contribute directly  for the survival and betterment of our daughters, sons, brothers,  sisters, mothers, and fathers. I will personally be responsible for  your contributions. Please contribute generously ask around other Pakistanies as well.  I am waiting for a quick answer from you. This email is written in personal capacity to only Pakistani  friends I know. This email is not written to have a debate on the  subject. I would leave that for another time. At this time lets  contribute if we can or contribute directly to a well established  donor agency in your area. It does not matter to me. All I am doing  Thanks in advance. May Allah Bless You More.
