		<description>&lt;p&gt;I contacted NARAL and mentioned that Connecticut Choice Voice supports Ned Lamont.  I hope we can get NOW and PP to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;
I’m not from CT but NARAL needs to know that their decision has national consequences.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;[…] I just found this out via a post at Firedoglake. Christy Hardin Smith posted a letter that reader TeddySanFran received from NARAL, which said, in part, As a nonpartisan organization, we support pro-choice elected officials, regardless of party affiliation. Therefore, our endorsement stands, regardless of Sen. Lieberman’s party registration. […]&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;…so the White House press room is under renovation. How long have they known about the asbestos? Remember what happened to the Pentagon after IT was renovated…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, off the subject: I could understand NARAL trying to take an easy way out…”we always support the pro-choice incumbent”…They are obviously a single-issue group and their objective is limited and they aren’t named NWRAL, after all. But then I remember Joe is the “short-ride” guy and…yeah, feck ‘em.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;So here’s the real bottom line. There are a lot of pro-choice organization to whom I can donate. Since I have limited funds, I will give some Mr. Lamont (I’m in Connecticut) and not give some to NARAL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As they’d say on ebay: NARAL IS NARU’d.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here is MY answer back from NARAL when I questioned if they were now going to switch from Lieberman to Lamont:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You’re absolutely right that electing more Democrats is necessary in order to put the House back into pro-choice hands. However, it is also vital for us, as a nonpartisan organization, to support elected officials who have stood firm in their pro-choice convictions, regardless of their party affiliation. We do hope to put the House back into pro-choice hands, and thus you’ll see us supporting plenty of pro-choice Democrats. We also intend to support the few courageous pro-choice Republicans who stand up to their party leadership’s attacks on choice. They have stood by us over the years, and we intend to stand by them. It is important for you to know that, as a nonpartisan organization, we hold all elected officials to exactly the same standard - regardless of party affiliation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We realize that not everyone will agree with each and every one of our endorsement decisions, but we do hope we can continue to earn your support. I hope this explanation of our electoral goals is helpful, and again, thank you for writing.&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shwetha Srinivasan&lt;br /&gt;
Membership Intern&lt;br /&gt;
NARAL Pro-Choice America&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THEY DO NOT CARE IF SOMEONE IS DEMOCRAT NOR REPUBLICAN.     Nor Independent.   I have argued that Joe said women could go somewhere else if they were raped and wanted PlanB contraception, and they said he clarified it with them and they are happy with his answer.  No answer to the fact that Alito’s wife is the head of an anti-abortion group.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have decided that NARAL is a bunch of imbeciles and will not send them another dime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;btw, this bimbo’s email is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t know whether which to be more dismayed by:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- That the rhetorical fallacy of labeling continues to enjoy such favor,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- That there are people out there who might seriously entertain the idea that a guy who created and ran a successful business would be a Marxist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;shorter Bush - “…We solved the terror plot in Britain!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;all while acting like he drank 5 pots of coffee…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…And pretending nobody had noticed that the British terror plot was “solved” by the British authorities, using the same diplomatic and criminal investigative approaches he and his administration have derided. Has anybody noticed how much better this works than going into an unconnected country, shooting a bunch of people, and destroying the infrastructure? ‘Cos Der Shrubbenfuhrer hasn’t.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
