RENEGADE “republican” GROUP
LINKED TO FORRESTER IS EXPOSED
Forrester Vows to Work with Extremist Group Known for
Attacking George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
On Tuesday, October 22, 2002, U.S. Senate Candidate Douglas Forrester enthusiastically embraced the endorsement of the “Republican” Pro-Choice Coalition, an antagonist group most known for opposing President George W. Bush. “I look forward to working with the RPCC,” said Forrester in a campaign press release. In an even more surprising revelation, the endorsement announcement from the fringe pro-abortion group refers to a secret written commitment provided by Doug Forrester in order to win their endorsement.
RPCC Opposes Bush Nominees
The so-called “Republican” Pro-Choice Coalition leads the national effort to block President Bush’s judicial nominees. Most recently, this group worked against the Bush Administration in defeating the nomination of Priscilla Owen to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Currently, the RPCC is working to defeat Michael McConnell nominated by President Bush to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

RPCC Denounces VP Dick Cheney as a “Reactionary”
After George W. Bush chose Dick Cheney as his running mate in 2000, the RPCC denounced the distinguished leader as a “reactionary.”

RPCC REFUSED to Endorse
Republican George W. Bush against Democrat Al Gore
In 2000, this so-called “Republican” group refused to endorse George W. Bush as the Republican nominee for President. They have refused to support George W. Bush as the Republican nominee for President and have worked with groups who even threatened to support Democrat Al Gore in 2000.

RPCC Honors Partial Birth Abortionist
In August 2000, RPCC honored one of their most prominent members, Nebraska partial birth abortionist LeRoy Carhart, with a reception during the RNC Convention. Carhart received a hero’s welcome as the man who challenged Nebraska’s ban on partial birth abortion. This particular abortionist argued before the U.S. Supreme Court for his right to continue performing the gruesome late term partial birth abortion technique. The Republican Platform refers specifically to this ruling, saying the decision “shocks the conscience of the nation.” The renegade RPCC opposes the partial birth abortion ban overwhelmingly passed by the House of Representatives on July 25, 2002.

RPCC leads fight to remove pro-life plank from the Republican Platform
This group is dedicated to removing the pro-life plank from the Republican platform and has been outspokenly critical of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. They have refused to support George W. Bush as the Republican nominee for President and have worked with groups who even threatened to support Democrat Al Gore in 2000.

Does Doug Forrester Stand with President Bush or with the Anti-Bush RPCC?
NJ voters are entitled to know if Forrester embraces the radically extreme agenda of this group. Did Forrester pledge in writing, as the RPCC claims, to oppose the Bush agenda in the U.S. Senate? Did Forrester pledge in writing, as the RPCC claims, to lead the effort to alter the Republican Platform pro-life plank?
Voters on both sides of the issue deserve to know whether Forrester will side with President Bush or this renegade “Republican” group on important policies, nominations, appointments and the Republican platform.
In the interest of full disclosure, New Jersey Right to Life-PAC urges Forrester to release the secret written agreement between this fringe pro-abortion group and the Forrester campaign so that NJ voters can decide where Douglas Forrester really stands.
