The Brody File has learned that the Susan B. Anthony List, a major national pro-life group, will begin an aggressive, new pro-active project that will target members of Congress who are not representing their pro-life districts properly. It's a unique move to begin this type of agressive approach in a non election year. The official announcement will come Thursday but The Brody File has it here first.
The new project is called “Votes Have Consequences” and the group has brought former U.S. Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave on board as the project’s Director and to raise money for it. The Brody File interviewed Musgrave and you can watch part of the interview above. I have transcribed part of her comments below:
"Votes do have consequence and this project is going to make sure we are not always on the defensive. We're going into districts where individuals are vulnerable and we're just going to make sure people know how these individuals have voted and what their record is."
"We're going to be assertive. We're going to be agressive and this is a new day in politics for the pro-life movement."
The Susan B. Anthony List will be targeting certain members of Congress who are out of step with their district on the life issue. No specific Congressmen have been identified yet but the group plans to launch an aggressive TV, Radio and print campaign against them very soon. They don’t want to wait until 2010. They believe the issue needs to be addressed right away because pro-life groups have all too often taken a back seat approach to getting involved early in congressional races.
