Fall Elections Rapidly Approaching.

When my children were young, my daughter danced and my sons performed in plays. Those who merely attended the performances didn't see all of the workmuch of it mundaneand the preparation and planning that had been done to make this incredibly pleasurable evening possible.

In a political sense, we're approaching show time! In choosing most of the nominees for the House and Senate, much of the foundation has been laid for the November 7 elections. Soon the decisions will be in the hands of voters.

Since the last issue of NRL News, primaries have been held in Nevada, Wyoming, Florida, Arizona, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Five still remain: Alaska, Massachusetts, Washington, Hawaii, and Louisiana.

In the August issue, we looked at many U.S. Senate match-ups. On September 12, Democrats and Republicans chose their candidates to replace retiring pro-abortion Maryland Senator Paul Sarbanes (D). Democrats selected pro-abortion Congressman Ben Cardin. The Republican nominee is pro-life Lt. Governor Michael Steele.

In Minnesota pro-life Congressman Mark Kennedy (R) will face Hennepin County attorney Amy Klobuchar (D), who was endorsed by EMILY's List, in the race to replace retiring pro-abortion Senator Mark Dayton (D).

In Michigan, pro-life Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard (R) is challenging another EMILY's List candidate, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D), for her U.S. Senate seat.

EMILY's List only endorses and promotes female Democratic candidates who support abortion on demand, partial-birth abortion, and using your tax dollars to pay for abortions. Unfortunately, EMILY's List received more contributions ($20.1 million for this cycle) than any other federal political action committee in the country.
