Contact: Joy Yearout, Susan B. Anthony List, 703-380-6674, jyearout@sba-list.org

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser will be traveling to New York's 23rd Congressional District in advance of the upcoming Special Election on November 3, 2009 to meet with staff, volunteers, and community leaders. 

Dannenfelser arrives on the heels of the initiation of a $300,000 voter education effort by several national social conservative organizations led by the Susan B. Anthony List.  The effort includes radio ads launched on Friday, October 23, 2009, targeted phone calls and mailings, as well as an extensive volunteer effort to distribute literature, yard signs, and man polling places on Election Day.  

WHO: 
Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List

WHAT:           
Media Availability to discuss the following:

• National impact of the NY-23 Special Election
   
• NY-23 as a positive bellwether for conservatives
   
• Lessons for the national GOP
   
• Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund's activities in NY-23 to educate and mobilize conservative voters
   
• Why the pro-life issue is a winning issue for candidates nationwide
   
• Why the GOP's advancement of liberal candidates will keep congressional Republicans in the minority

WHEN:  
Sunday, October 25 – 10AM Tuesday October 27, 2009.

WHY: 
"All eyes are on New York right now," says Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony list. "This special election in the 23rd District could determine whether the national GOP stays true to the traditional values enshrined in its platform, or whether future Republican candidates are more likely to resemble Democrats in 2010.  Here's the bottom line: when the GOP insists upon standing for an "R' by the candidate's name instead of principles, it loses.  From now through Election Day, social and economic conservatives are banding together to send the message that America needs more candidates like Doug Hoffman, not fewer."
