NARAL Pro-Choice America Demonstrates Outside Romney Fundraiser |
March 22, 2011--Former Gov. Mitt
Romney, now the solid frontrunner in the race for the Republican
nomination, held a closed press fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency that
drew quite a few legislators, including Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and John
Thune (R-SD). |
Outside, a group of 15-20
demonstrators from NARAL Pro-Choice America
and several other groups sought to draw attention to Romney's
anti-choice record. NARAL Pro-Choice America deputy
political director Erika West spoke to reporters [press release]. The
Etch-a-Sketches are a reference to the much-replayed comments Romney
senior advisor Eric Fehrnstrom made during an interview on CNN on March
21. |
Note: Also on this DC trip, Romney held private meetings on Capitol Hill and a town hall meeting in Arbutus, MD. |
