Dear John,


I'm writing to you now to let you know about my friend and President Obama's
nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder.


Eric Holder is a man of unique integrity, as committed to liberty, the rule
of law and our constitutional rights as anyone I know. He has enormous
experience pursuing justice as a Superior Court Judge, a U.S. Attorney and
as Deputy Attorney General for the United States. He has worked with people
on both sides of the political aisle. That's why I'm so angry that
Republicans in the Senate have chosen to make him a target.


And it's why I am asking you to join me in making a donation to People For
the American Way today
<http://site.pfaw.org/site/R?i=DaD4JiMXCaTijPZmt2ubiA..>  to help them
rebuke the partisan attacks on Eric Holder and ensure his speedy
confirmation. 


After you donate, please make sure to sign the Confirm Holder petition
<http://site.pfaw.org/site/R?i=l4Z-zJd5LXyWEOgmD4scmg..>  if you have not
yet added your name.


President Obama made an excellent choice when he nominated Eric Holder for
Attorney General. I am fearful that this Republican opposition is really
about pushing back on the Obama administration and testing the waters for
future judicial confirmation fights. This is typical Washington partisan
politics at a time when our nation needs to join together to solve the
crises confronting America. Disturbingly, a good man is caught in the middle
of these partisan tactics, someone who will be an excellent Attorney General
for all Americans. 


I've supported People For the American Way for years, for their steadfast
defense of the First Amendment and their effectiveness in advocating
progressive values in Washington. I'm glad it's People For who has taken up
this fight. 


But they need your help and your support.
<http://site.pfaw.org/site/R?i=gd8Gv5M3h5UYyo-WS_PK0A..>  People For the
American Way is generating grassroots pressure on senators from their home
state constituents, leading efforts to get our message out in the media (and
doing a fabulous job) and even mobilizing activists in Washington to
physically show up for the hearings and the vote on the nomination.


Be part history. Reject Republicans' partisan obstruction and help give all
Americans an Attorney General who will fight for them.


Please join me in supporting this work.

Thank you. 


Sincerely, 





Barbra Streisand 


P.S. We can't let Republican delays deny the American people the Attorney
General they deserve. Please support People For's campaign to confirm Eric
Holder with a gift right now.
