Why CWPAC Endorsed

Congresswoman Musgrave has been a pro-life, pro-family leader from her days in the Colorado state legislature.

Congresswoman Musgrave isn’t just a consistent vote, she is someone you and I can count on year in and year out to stand up and protect the unborn and defend traditional marriage.  Throughout her career, she has been willing to be on the frontlines of the culture wars in the country and as a result has taken some hard knocks from liberal groups like Moveon.org (you might remember Moveon.org from when they attacked and mocked General Petraeus in an ad calling him ”General Betray us”) the Pro-abortion juggernaut, EMILYS List, the National Organization of Women (NOW) and others.  Congresswoman Musgrave has endured attacks from homosexual activists, specifically Tim Gill, a wealthy so-called gay philanthropist, who has millions of dollars targeting Marilyn Musgrave for her strong stand in favor of traditional marriage.  It is for these reasons, CWPAC is proud to endorse Marilyn Musgrave for Congress in Colorado’s 4^th district.  Click here to donate to Marilyn's reelection campaign.

 2008 Voting Record

 2008 Race Outlook

Because of Congresswoman Musgrave’s strong stand on the issues, she always faces tough reelection fights. Last year was the closest with her taking the contest from two other candidates. Marilyn won with 45.6 percent of the vote.

This year her opponent is Betsy Markey.  As any liberal, she is backed by the usual suspects like NOW and EMILY’s List who are raising money for her campaign.  MoveOn.org and Tim Gill will most likely spend lots of their money on independent expenditures to try and take the Congresswoman out.  Please click here and donate to Congresswoman Musgrave’s campaign and help send her back to Congress.
