NARAL President Resigns: See Below To Find Out Why

Dear Friends,
In an exclusive interview with the Washington Post’s Sarah Kliff released tonight, NARAL President Nancy Keenan announced that she would be stepping down from her post at the end of the year.Kliff writes in her story:
In recent years, Keenan has worried about an ‘intensity gap’ on abortion rights among millennials, which the group considers to be the generation of Americans born between 1980 and 1991. While most young, antiabortion voters see abortion as a crucial political issue, NARAL’s own internal research does not find similar passion among abortion-rights supporters.
In other words, Nancy Keenan’s conclusion is something we have known for years: the post-Roe generations are pro-life – and more passionately so than their parents’ generations and their pro-abortion, post-Roe counterparts.We know from Gallup that 61% of the country believes abortion should be illegal in all circumstances or legal only in a few circumstances. We know from Gallup that 45% of the country self-identifies as pro-life. We know from Gallup that 51% of Americans believe abortion is morally wrong. And we know that when those questions are asked of the post­-Roe generation, the numbers tend to skew higher.More important, I know that none of this would even be possible without you and the work you do with National Right to Life and our nationwide network of state affiliates and local chapters. Every day you are educating your communities, touching hearts and changing minds. Every day, you are helping us make a difference for the most defenseless members of our society.Look back to 2003 when the New York Times Magazine quoted David J. Garrow, a hard-core pro-abortion “legal historian” at Emory University, as stating, “There’s been so much media attention over the last seven to eight years on partial-birth abortion, we shouldn’t be surprised that some of it has had an effect on 12-to-14-year-olds, and it is a public relations coup for the National Right to Life Committee.”The other side has noticed. And they’re “worried.”Keep up the great work. Together we will win…for their lives.

We recently posted an article about illegal aliens receiving over 4 billion dollars a year in tax refunds to which they are likely not entitled.

Jerry Powers an Estancia Valley activist let us know there is a follow-up to the story we posted.  We have provided a link to the second part of the report and it is found just below.

Scam Exposed: Now What?

The answer to the question posed in the above link is to demand of your congressional representatives this practice be stopped.  Here is a link to finding their phone numbers and email addresses:

The rest is up to us.  We hope you’ll take the time and become a true citizen activist.

This video was sent by Sandia Tea Party members Butch Stackpolie and Bob Steiner.

Audacity comes in many forms.  As you watch the video below, you will not recognize what our president has proffered in one of his books, i.e., The Audacity Of Hope.  What you will see should cause you to rise up and protest with reason AND anger.  Look at the audacity of our government for allowing this and then view the audacity of the illegal aliens as they defraud this nation.

The Audacity Of Dope(s)

If this doesn’t move people off of their recliners and into meetings to stop this kind of stuff, then nothing will.
