I received a solicitation in the mail from the National Pro-Life Alliance. It informed me that the only U.S. Senate candidate from Maine who is 100 percent pro-life is Scott D’Amboise.

It also stated that none of the other candidates responded to their candidate surveys.

Therefore, it surprised me that next to the name Republican Bruce Poliquin was an asterisk denotating, “Both in his past public comments and in his comments on the survey, Mr. Poliquin stated that he believes the federal government should not protect the unborn from abortion.”

Bruce has stated during every speech and every debate that he is 100 percent, unequivocally pro-life. I contacted his campaign about the inaccurate mailing.

The Poliquin campaign has contacted the National Pro-Life Alliance, which verified the statement was incorrect but never returned the call, so a correction is probably not going to take place.

The kicker is that after knowingly lying about Poliquin, the Alliance had the audacity to request a donation to help “carry on our fight for the unborn.”

Poliquin has been endorsed by Concerned Women of America (CWA), a prestigious and difficult endorsement to receive.
