Oppose the Crawford Nomination: he's trying to block birth control, let's block him!
Target: U.S. SenatorsSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
President Bush has nominated Lester Crawford, who helped block attempts to improve womens access to birth control, for the top job at the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
During Crawford's tenure as acting commissioner, the FDA has ignored the recommendation from its own scientific and medical experts and blocked "Plan B", which is an application to make the morning-after pill available without a prescription.
Speak out with two Senate Democratic leaders, Patty Murray from Washington and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, who are holding up his nomination until the FDA acts on the application.
Urge your senators to join Senators Murray and Clinton and oppose the Crawford nomination.

We (Americans) need to keep women in charge of managing their own health. Your track record has fallen far short of support for that principle. Science should override politics ALWAYS!

Trust women to make the right decisions about reproduction-it is our body and our right to decide if we want to bear children or not! We do not want these men with antiquated ideas in positions of power over our bodies.

By accepting Mr. Crawford, we will be putting woman's issues back by 50 years. Please stop his nomination.

I oppose abortion and this pill will prevent pregnacies without hurting current ones. This should be a win/win situation by allowing it. If we conservatives are real about stoping abortion in a safer and healther way, then approving this pill and its availability is it. If Crawford's nomination is stopped then maybe some in power will pay attention to the people.

I have no problem with someone being an idealist, as long as they keep their ideals to themselves. Let's nominate someone who knows enough to keep their noses out of women's rights. this man could send us back to the dark ages!

Please do the right thing for women in this country and set the example for the rest of the world. Crawford is not appropriate, helpful or thoughtful enough for this important position and does not represent the values of this country, including the civil liberties of 50% of our country's population. This is not the role for a Bush marketer, it is the position of a scientist. Thanks for listening.

Lester Crawford is NOT the right person for this important job. Women's reproductive freedoms are going to regress 30 years! JUST SAY NO TO CRAWFORD!
