MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 5 /Standard Newswire/ -- Today the Fred Thompson campaign announced the addition of Shannon Royce, an experienced social conservative coalitions director and former Executive Director of The Arlington Group, who will be joining the Thompson Campaign to serve as Grassroots and Special Projects Director.

Shannon Royce most recently served as Executive Director of the Arlington Group where she managed a coalition of over 70 organizations advocating on numerous pro-family initiatives. In that capacity, she coordinated coalition efforts on behalf of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. A former Legislative Assistant to Senator Slade Gorton and Legislative Counsel to Senator Charles Grassley, Royce also served as Director of Government Relations for the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission from 1999-2003. Shannon is a graduate of Hardin Simmons University, and received a law degree from George Washington University.

"I have watched Senator Thompson for months and have been struck by his consistent record as a conservative," said Shannon Royce. "His record is solid and his views are based on a deeply philosophical approach to the issues. I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest leaders in the pro-family movement. I am now turning my attention to work with a man who can lead our nation. "

"We are blessed that Shannon has joined our team," said Randy Enwright, National Political Director. "She is a lawyer and a seasoned political operative with a vast network of connections. Shannon is well known and highly respected in Evangelical Christian circles and has been on the front lines of all key battles important to social conservatives. She is an important addition to our operation and will make a tangible impact."

I ask you to show me one instance where he expanded abortion

He personally gave money to Planned Parenthood NINE TIMES. Every dollar given to Planned Parenthood expands abortions, it is what they do.

Giuliani is supported mostly in the liberal northeast and west coast. I fled my home state of Connecticut because I saw what was coming. Weicker-Rowland-Rell, and now my fellow nutmeggers think that is the best they can do, and they are right. My Connectiut is gone.

Giuliani had his chance to be a liberal NYer from a liberal state, and he bailed out so that Mrs. Clinton could walk all over Rick Lazio. I am not giving him a second chance. And I do not want RINO Rudy to do for America what Christine Tood Whitman, Jody Rell, Tom Ridge, George Pataki and Arnold Schwarzenegger have done for their respective states. One liberal party is enough, thank you.

Ping to Pharmboy to refute Giuliani’s “support” for gun rights.
