Govt. and their Culture of Death supporters

REMINDER: DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON THE CATECHISM 101 TOPIC POLL TO THE LEFT - ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT TO VOTE

My last blog entry briefly touched on the Democrat supporters being widely anti-life and government's great desire to woo them. I thought we'd take a quick look as some of the Culture of Death supporters and their financial help in previous elections.

We begin with NARAL Pro-Choice America, Inc.

In support of the Congressional elections in 2002, NARAL reported $621,470 in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). For the 2000 elections, a presidential election year, however, NARAL reported a massive $6.1 million to the FEC.

Planned Parenthood

In the 2000 election, they reported an incredible $9 million in donations and financial support for campaigns. The New Stealth PAC's, an organization that tracks 501(c) non-profit spending in elections (and from whom we obtained most of our stats for this blog entry) had this to say about Planned Parenthood's 2002 involvement: "In the 2002 election cycle, PPAF funded direct mail and telemarketing campaigns supporting pro-choice candidates in several closely contested U.S. House and Senate races." this included over 200,000 pieces of literature and made 190,000 phone calls for one, single candidate alone!

National Pro-Life Alliance (NPLA)

PAC said, "the NPLA-PAC reported to the FEC that 100 percent of its 2002 spending came in the form of contributions to candidates." Exact financial contributions weren't known, however, because the organization cleverly hid them by 'soft money' contributions. Soft money refers to contributions given, at least nominally, to a political party for "party building" activities rather than for the direct support of particular candidates and campaigns (source: Wikipedia).

These are three of the biggest Culture of Death fundraising supporters for political campaigns. It will be interesting to see how much they contribute for 2006 elections, but more importantly how much they contribute to the presidential election year of 2008. Something to think about. Until next time...God bless.
