Email from Mitch Stewart

Pierre,

This week, hundreds of thousands of supporters like you stood up to support Judge Sonia Sotomayor's historic nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. But the long road to confirmation has only just begun. Add your voice, and stand with Sotomayor.

We've just launched our action center, an online hub where you can find all the tools you need to help spread the word about Judge Sotomayor, engage in the public debate about her nomination, and make sure decision-makers in the Senate know where you stand. With only a few minutes, you can make a huge difference.

Check out the action center and help confirm this great nominee.

Add your voice

In the coming days and weeks, our opponents will try to play politics with Judge Sotomayor's nomination, and it's up to us to help get out the facts and show the public -- and key decision-makers -- how much support she really has. Here's how you can help:

Stand with Sotomayor: You can add your name to our public display of support, showing the Senate and the media where the American people stand.

Write a letter to the editor: Using our easy online tool, you can send a letter to your local newspaper about why you support Judge Sotomayor's nomination -- highlighting her extraordinary life story, her tremendous judicial experience, the historic nature of her nomination, or anything else that's important to you. It's extremely effective and only takes a few minutes.

Call your Senator: You can look up the numbers of your two Senators, and give them a call to let them know that you support Judge Sotomayor and hope they do too.

Share President Obama's message: The president has recorded a special message explaining his support for Judge Sotomayor -- you can send it on to help educate friends and family.

Display your support: Download posters and get images you can use online to show your support.

Whichever actions you take you'll be playing a critical role in this historic moment.

California’s Supreme Court Ruled

California’s Supreme Court ruled that a ballot initiative passed by the electorate, defining marriage as between a man and a woman, was constitutional. But the court did not nullify the 18,000 gay marriages performed in the state in the six months before the ballot, a period when they were deemed legal. Proponents and opponents of same-sex nuptials promised another bout of balloting on the issue.

President Obama Announces Supreme Court Nominee

Email from President Barack Obama

Pierre,

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
