A group of prominent conservatives last night issued the
following statement on the Supreme Court decision:
"We applaud the Supreme Court stay of the sale of Chrysler in the
bankruptcy court. The sale irreparably harms teachers and other
public employees whose retirement funds were invested in
Chrysler. It ignores the rule of law and tramples the sanctity of
contract that protects these retirement funds. We urge the full
Supreme Court to take this case and review the sale of Chrysler
to make sure that the rights of these retirees and all secured
creditors have been protected fully."
The statement was signed by the following conservative
leaders:Duane Parde, President, National Taxpayers Union
James C. Miller III, former Reagan Budget Director
Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform
Wendy Wright, President, Concerned Women for America
William Wilson, President, Americans for Limited Government
Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
David Keene, Chairman, American Conservative Union
Kenneth Blackwell, former Treasurer, State of Ohio
Richard Viguerie, Chairman, ConservativeHQ.com
David McIntosh, former U.S. Representative, Indiana
Herman Cain, President, THE New Voice, Inc.
Fred Smith, President, Competitive Enterprise Institute
Tim Phillips, President, Americans for Prosperity
Alfred Regnery, Publisher, American Spectator
Ed Meese, former Attorney General
