Several news outlets (e.g. Fox News, the Politico, National Review Online) are reporting right now that TOMORROW the National Right to Life Committee plans to endorse Fred Thompson.
We can change this, because it makes absolutely no sense for the most significant prolife organization in the country to endorse a former lawyer who worked for Planned Parenthood lobbyists who just last week said to Tim Russert on national TV
"In his first question on abortion, Russert asked Thompson whether, as a candidate, he could run on the 2004 Republican platform that endorsed a ''human life'' constitutional amendment banning all abortions. ''No,'' Thompson replied, suddenly monosyllabic. ''You would not?'' ''No,'' said Thompson, adding ''that's been my position the entire time I've been in politics.''
In fact, every Republican platform starting in 1980 has endorsed such an amendment and every Republican candidate has been able to run on it.

Fred Thompson especially makes no sense for them since Huckabee, the lifelong strongest prolife candidate, is in the middle of a surge and has surpassed Thompson's stagnating/sinking polls in both Iowa and New Hampshire!
Here is a link to the CBN article regarding this.
...and let them know what the consequences will be for future support of this prolife group and that you will pass on your consternation to many others influential in the evangelical and GOP/prolife world... there are many other prolife organizations in this country to give our time, money, and support to if this kind of insider politics is going to be their modus operandi.
God bless,
This is a copy of my email!
Are you seriously going to endorse a candidate that is not fully committed to your cause and simultaneously falling in the polls as Mike Huckabee is rising. His rise is largely due to the pro life community and in spite of our power hungry former leaders like Robertson, Bauer, Land and others who have lost their right to lead.
It makes absolutely no sense for the most significant pro life organization in the country to endorse a former lawyer who worked for Planned Parenthood lobbyists.
Just last week on Tim Russert: The first question on abortion, Russert asked Thompson whether, as a candidate, he could run on the 2004 Republican platform that endorsed a ''human life'' constitutional amendment banning all abortions.

Mike Huckabee has been an unwavering pillar in the pro life movement, yet you insult him and the entire pro life community with this endorsement.
Shame on you!
Those of us fighting hard for Mike Huckabee will not tolerate this kind of irresponsibility!
Our blogging power is beyond your comprehension and our grassroots efforts are sending a clear message to those who are forsaking their principles for position and power.
If you will not stand by your principles, you will not stand as an organization, we will cease to support you!
Action alert!!! Call and email NOW!!!!!! Mike Huckabee has earned the National Right to Life Endorsement.
