WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today the president of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund praised the re-election victory of Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA):
"Today Georgia voters re-elected a great pro-life leader in Senator Saxby Chambliss," said Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund Marjorie Dannenfelser. "The U.S. Senate needs his leadership and passionate protection of mothers and innocent unborn children. The Susan B. Anthony List and pro-life advocates across the country look forward to working with Senator Chambliss to fight for strict constructionist judges who won't legislate from the bench."
The Susan B. Anthony List Voter Education and Mobilization Program contacted over 400,000 pro-life voters in Georgia through radio, mail and phone-banking prior to the General Election. The organization also ran educational ads on Christian radio before the runoff.
"Team Sarah's thousands of members remain as engaged as ever in the political process," said Team Sarah Co-Founder and Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "They were active in making Get Out the Vote Calls from their homes on behalf of Senator Chambliss, and today we know those calls made a difference."
Team Sarah, a special project of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund, connected its membership with remote phone-banking facilities to make calls to Georgia voters on Senator Chambliss' behalf. Team Sarah also reached over 275,000 Georgia households with a Get Out the Vote phone message recorded by Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO).
Senator Saxby Chambliss has a 100% pro-life voting record in the U.S. Senate. His opponent, Jim Martin, voted against parental notification before abortions are performed on minors in the Georgia State Legislature. Martin also vowed to kill a bill that would have banned the brutal practice of partial-birth abortions.
Since its founding, the nonpartisan Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund has helped elect 79 pro-life candidates to the House, seven to the Senate, and nine to other statewide offices across the country.
The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 151,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process. Team Sarah is a grassroots coalition of women dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process.
