FRC Action PAC's Early Support for Doug Hoffman Pays Dividends with
Scozzafava's Exit

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Connie Mackey, president
of FRC Action PAC, the political action committee connected to Family Research
Council, released the following statement in regards to the exit of Dede
Scozzafava from New York's 23rd District race.

"I am delighted that the Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, has bowed out
of the special election. The attitude by some unnamed Republicans that
conservatives just won't support a woman didn't help endear conservative women
like myself to Ms. Scozzafava's candidacy. She was out of the mainstream on
issues dear to the heart of most women like traditional family values and
respect for innocent life. I can say unequivocally that when the Republicans
and Democrats put forward candidates who have the basic, commonsense approach
to issues, they will receive our support, whether male or female."

"The fact that she has finally taken off the Republican mask and endorsed a
liberal Democrat should be a lesson learned for the Republican Party bosses
who thought she was their winning ticket. If a primary had been held, Doug
Hoffman would have won hands down and Ms. Scozzafava could have continued as a
liberal Democrat with an R in front of her name."

FRC Action PAC continues to air radio ads throughout New York's 23rd district
urging support for Doug Hoffman on Election Day. On Tuesday evening at 8:30
PM ET, FRC Action will host a special webcast to offer election night analysis
and also the latest on the health care reform debate. Go to

arm of Family Research Council, a 501 (C) (3) organization.
