Latest Appts. By Mr. Obama - President Elect

I just saw on a news update from the World Over with Raymond Arroyo that Obama has selected two prominent women to a Communications post and Domestic Policy. Both are extreme pro-abortion on demand advocates. Also, both played a major role in helping Obama campaign for his election win.

These two women are:

White House Communications Director - Ellen Moran is current the head of Emily's List, "a political action committee (PAC) in the United States that aims to help elect progressive female candidates who are pro-choice to office. It was founded by Ellen Malcolm in 1984" (WIKIPEDIA)
She responsible for the strategic direction of the org, and has played a major role in Democratic party campaigning, etc.

From CNA - "EMILY's List also states being "committed to a three-pronged strategy to elect pro-choice Democratic women: recruiting and funding viable women candidates; helping them build and run effective campaign organizations; and mobilizing women voters to help elect progressive candidates across the nation."
For a candidate to be considered for funding from EMILY’s List there are three requirements: The candidate must be a woman; she must be a Democrat; and she must support unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand.
The List’s support for abortion-on-demand is so strong that it has cut funding from politicians who voted against extreme pro-abortion positions. Two examples of this are Senators Mary Landrieu from Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln from Arkansas who lost funding from EMILY’s List when they voted to ban the gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion."

Domestic Policy Director - Melody Barnes. "She was previously Executive Vice President for Policy at the Center for American Progress[2] and led the CAP's Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative. She left the CAP in June of 2008 to work on the Obama campaign. She also serves on the advisory board for the Obama presidential transition team. She previously served as the Director of Legislative Affairs for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and as assistant counsel to the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties[4], where she worked with Congress to pass the Voting Rights Improvement Act of 1992. She was also a board member of EMILY's List." (WIKIPEDIA).


It also appears the domestic policy position will oversee these partipants as part of the policy (with exception of economics). Ignore the names since they are currently Bush's appointees. Just read the actual role.
