As your constituent and as a Reform Jew, I strongly urge
you to oppose the nomination of Jeff Sessions as Attorney
General. As the top law enforcement official in the country, the
Attorney General has substantial power over the
administration of key legislation that advances the
fundamental rights of all people, regardless of race, class,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin. Senator Sessions' firmly established record of opposition to
protection of and advancements in voting rights, LGBTQ
equality, women's rights, immigration reform and religious
freedom suggests that he would not fulfill the Department of
Justice's mandate to provide equal protection under the law
for all people. The letter goes on to talk about his votes particularly against the
Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act when it
was added as an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act.
