Concerned Women Political Action Committee Endorses Community Activist and Former Gubernatorial Chief of Staff, Ed Martin for Congress in Missouri’s 3rd Congressional District

Ed is a fearless seasoned pro-life, pro-family advocate who will take liberal Russ Carnahan head on

Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women Political Action Committee (CWPAC) announces its endorsement of Ed Martin for Congress in Missouri’s 3rd Congressional District.

“Ed Martin is a man of strong convictions. He is unafraid to protect the unborn and families and will vigorously fight destructive government policies,” said Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women Political Action Committee.

“We strongly endorse Ed Martin in this race for the simple reason that he is right on the issues for Missouri families and for our country. He isn’t afraid to expose Russ Carnahan’s liberal voting record and lock-step obedience to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her liberal agenda.

“I am convinced that Ed Martin has the strong grassroots support as well as the financial backing he needs to win this race for conservatives.”

Concerned Women PAC, established in 2002 by Mrs. Beverly LaHaye, is affiliated with Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization with more than 500,000 grassroots members nationwide.

The incumbent congressman from Missouri’s third Congressional District is Russ Carnahan. Congressman Carnahan will be running for his fourth term in 2010. Mr. Carnahan’s rating with Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) is poor, having voted against the CWALAC position nearly 40 times in a three term career.

·         Rep. Carnahan voted for the monstrous government take-over of America’s health care which will fund abortion, ration health care, cause doctors to leave the profession, increase insurance premiums and cripple the country with massive debt.

·         Rep. Carnahan voted against the Stupak Amendment which would have prohibited government coverage for abortions in the health care bill.

·         Rep. Carnahan voted in favor of the omnibus bill which included an increase of $10 million for Title X funding with the bulk of those taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S.  The omnibus bill also gave $103 million to international “family planning” organizations, in effect forcing American taxpayers to indirectly promote and fund abortions abroad.

Mrs. Penny Nance and Concerned Women Political Action Committee’s mission is to elect solid pro-family, pro-life conservatives to Congress.  Concerned Women PAC sends out a monthly letter to members encouraging them to financially support candidates like Ed Martin.  For more information on this race or to set up an interview with Mrs. Nance, please contact Mike Mears at 202-408-4941.
