Population Connection leads coalition of 19 groups urging Senate to reject the nomination of Ellen Sauerbrey - an opponent of family planning - to continue in her post as Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration where she oversaw U.S. policy on global population and family planning issues. Installed in her post by recess appointment in 2006, she needed to be confirmed by the Senate by the end of December to remain in that position. When the Senate refused to act before leaving town for the holidays, she was out. Read letter
