Tell the Democrats to Support Pro-Choice Candidates!

When you sign this NOW PAC petition, an email containing this message with your name and address will be sent individually to Sen. Charles Schumer at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.

Moving to the Right is the Wrong strategy! If you won't stand up for women and women's rights - core Democratic values - then you can't expect women's rights supporters to stand up for you.

I am outraged at the most recent expression of this losing strategy -- the decidedly undemocratic actions of Democratic leaders and political consultants who forced Barbara Hafer out of the 2006 United States Senate race in Pennsylvania - in favor of a candidate who opposes women's reproductive rights, a fundamental principle of the Democratic party.

I cannot in good conscience support Democratic party organizations that encourage anti-choice candidates against women's rights supporters. Remember that women are the vast majority of both the voters and the fundraising direct mail supporters of the Democratic Party. Women deserve better.
