Campaigns--Stupak Race

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC are

backing former Charlevoix County Commissioner Connie Saltonstall’s Democratic

primary challenge to Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak.

The endorsements come in the wake of Stupak’s high-profile effort to insert tight

restrictions on federal funding of abortions into the health care reform law.

Last Week, Saltonstall won the endorsements of the National Organization for

Women and MI List, a Michigan organization that backs female candidates who

support abortion rights.

NARAL announced Wednesday that it was donating the maximum of $5,000 to

Saltonstall’s primary campaign

One Year From Now

Hold your breath. This time, this month, this week, this hour next August we will know who is the Republican and Democratic nominee for Governor! Not to mention for the Michigan Senate and House general election candidates will be finalized. The primary is over and we are in the general election. One year from now we are heavy into partisan sniping, attacks, mistruths and multi media advertising. Oh goody. Can't wait.
