For Voting to Approve Elena Kagan’s Nomination out of the Judiciary Committee

Sixteen Conservative and Tea Party groups in South Carolina have signed a censure of Senator Lindsey Graham for voting to approve Elena Kagan’s nomination out of the Judiciary Committee and to the Senate floor for a full vote.

The censure was initiated by the Laurens County Tea Party.

“We had first sent him an email, signed by 7 groups asking him to vote NO on Kagan, and when he ignored us, we initiated this censure,” said Dianne Belsom, President of the Laurens County Tea Party.

The statement concludes with the following stern challenge:

“Sen. Graham, if you believe that since elections have consequences and therefore Obama can do as he wishes, without any fight or impediment from those who oppose his radical agenda for America, then we suggest that you step down now and let the people of South Carolina find someone who will fight for our country, our freedom, and our ideals. If you continue in office, understand that We the People are watching you closely, and we will continue to hold you accountable for your failure to uphold the Constitution and Conservative principles, and we will be working hard for your replacement in 2014.”
