Countering NARAL Campaigns

Naral, the National Abortion Rights Action League, is one of the most militant pro-death abortion organizations out there. So when they get on an issue you can pretty much expect that we need to do the exact opposite.

They are presently fast and furious drumming up support for President Obama’s radically anti-life nominees Dawn Johnson, David Hamilton and Kathleen Sebelius. We need to get out there in opposition to these horrible nominees. Email your Senator NOW!

Here’s the email they sent out to supporters. Note how inflamatory it is and how they feed personal attacks at those with the integrity to stand up for life.

Dear Friends,

Right-wing news magazines, the grassroots of the anti-choice movement, and even anti-choice elected officials are launching outrageous attacks with words like “ethical depravity” and “deranged” to describe a nationally acclaimed constitutional scholar nominated by President Obama to a post at the Department of Justice.

The nominee is Prof. Dawn Johnsen, and along with fellow nominees Judge David Hamilton and Gov. Katheleen Sebelius, she’s being attacked by anti-choice senators simply because she’s pro-choice. Some senators are even threatening a filibuster to block Johnsen and Hamilton

Write your senators today to fight anti-choice senators’ attempts to block these highly qualified nominees.

We must call on the U.S. Senate to confirm Judge Hamilton for a federal appeals court judgeship; Gov. Sebelius as secretary of Health and Human Services; and Prof. Johnsen, a former legal director for NARAL Pro-Choice America, for a post at the Justice Department without the delays of back-room politics and sneaky maneuvers.

The use of the “f” word – filibuster – when referring to any of these nominees is unacceptable. We won’t let this threat go unanswered. We must make it clear to our senators that derailing nominees for critical positions in the Obama administration and in the federal courts is not an option.

We will keep up the pressure until we go “three for three” and see these distinguished, well-qualified nominees confirmed by the Senate.

Make sure your senators hear it from you: “Confirm Hamilton, Sebelius, and Johnsen without delay.”

Anti-choice groups only have to block one of these nominations to score a major victory toward their pledge to wage “guerilla warfare” on a woman’s right to choose.1 We must win every single time. Help us go “three for three” on this first test. Take action today.

My best,

I have modified the email they propose people send to meet our goals. Email your senator NOW!

“Re: Oppose the Confirmation of Hamilton, Johnsen, and Sebelius

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you filibuster and to cast your vote in opposition to the confirmation for three of President Obama’s pending nominees:

Do not confirm Judge David Hamilton for a federal appeals court judgeship, Prof. Dawn Johnsen, for the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius for secretary of Health and Human Services.

These individuals are unqualified and ill-suited for these critical posts. I hope you will stand firmly for the America people and against the radical social and political agenda of these appointees.”

Go Team! Go!

  1. Ugh! Due to the swine flu “epidemic” Sebelius was rushed through confirmation yesterday. Have I mentioned there is no epidemic and hopefully there will not be one. The truth is that 36,000 people die in the US each year from the flu and to date none have died from the swine flu. This is a marketing campaign for Obama to pass through health related items that have been bogged down.
