REGISTER TO VOTE

This will be a crucial election year. It seems we think this each time a presidential election year comes around, but this year there is dramatic difference in the positions on life of the two candidates. Sen. Barack Obama, presumptive Democrat candidate, has been very outspoken on his pro-abortion stand and the desire to place pro-abortion judges on the bench. Sen. John McCain, presumptive Republican candidate, has a pro-life stand and voting record as well as commitment to place strict constructionist judges on the bench. It is believed that the next president will have the opportunity to appoint two Supreme Court Justices, due to the age and health of the court members. The president will also appoint justices to lower courts. What many do not understand is that this ability to appoint judges makes as much or more difference in the direction of our nation as any other policy the president may have.

CINDY MCCAIN AND THE BABIES

Many people know the story of the McCain’s daughter Bridget. While Cindy McCain was on a trip to the orphanage, Mother Theresa put a baby in Mrs. McCain’s arms and told her to take her, because she would die if she stayed there since she had medical problems that could not be taken care of there in India. Mrs. McCain brought the baby home in a Dr. Pepper t-shirt she bought at the airport since the baby had no clothes. When she got off the plane Sen. McCain was there to meet her. She told him the story and when he asked where the baby would be staying, Mrs. McCain said she hoped with them. Bridget McCain is now a happy healthy teenager.

NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE PRAISES PALIN

Solid pro-life ticket contrasts with pro-abortion ticket

Today the National Right to Life Committee praised John McCain’s pick of pro-life Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate.
“We’re thrilled,” said Karen Cross, National Right to Life Political Director. “Senator McCain has demonstrated his dedication to life in his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.”
National Right to Life President Wanda Franz, Ph.D added, “Governor Palin brings another strong pro-life voice to the Republican ticket, in sharp contrast to the pro-abortion ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”
“We’ve both been very vocal about being pro-life,” Palin, a mother of five, said in an interview shortly after the birth of her youngest son Trig, who has Down Syndrome. “We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential.”

The differences between the McCain/Palin ticket and the Obama/Biden ticket are clear. While Senator McCain has a very strong record on the life issues, Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate ever nominated by a major political party.

Senator Obama voted multiple times to deny care and protection to children born alive after abortion attempts. He is also co-sponser of an extreme bill, the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act,” that would make
partial-birth abortion legal again and require taxpayer funding of abortions. For further information, go to www.nrlc.org.
"The country now has a clear choice,” added Darla St. Martin, Co-Executive Director of the National Right to Life Committee, “between an avowed pro-abortion ticket that would continue to push for unrestricted abortion on demand, and a strongly pro-life ticket that will bring us closer to a society that embraces the value and dignity of human life."

The National Right to Life Committee is the nation’s largest pro-life group with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters nationwide. National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and assisted suicide.

NOVEMBER 4 ELECTIONS

We are getting close to the elections on November 4. The last day to register to vote is October 3. If you have registered somewhere other than your circuit clerk’s office, please check to see that they have you recorded. Many times when people register online or at the DMV the name does not wind up on the voter rolls before the election.

The grid below shows information about the major candidates in the federal elections this year. The fifth column shows if they are endorsed by National Right to Life PAC, the sixth and seventh show the answers to the NRLC PAC questionnaire (Yes is a pro-life answer) and the last column is the percentage of pro-life votes for an incumbent. The votes are since 1997. Rep. Childers took office this year and there have been no votes on the issue since then. Sen. Wicker’s votes are a combination of House and Senate votes. NRLC PAC may make more endorsements and we are still trying to get in more questionnaires from the candidates.

AS DEMOCRATS EMBRACE ABORTION CULTURE,
REPUBLICAN PARTY EMBRACES LIFE
National Right to Life calls GOP platform
"strongest ever"

WASHINGTON - As the Democratic Party officially nominates pro-abortion Senator Barack Obama for president and pro-abortion Senator Joe Biden for vice-president during the third day of their convention in Denver, the Republican Party Platform Committee, meeting in Minneapolis, adopted the strongest and most explicit support of life ever expressed by a major political party.
"We applaud the Republican Party, and especially the members of the platform committee representing grassroots pro-life Republicans across the country, for making such a strong and unequivocal stand supporting life at all stages," said National Right to Life Political Director Karen Cross from Minneapolis. "The work of the platform committee makes clear, in no uncertain terms, that the Republican Party is the pro-life party."

RUMORS, RUMORS, AND MORE RUMORS
WHERE TO FIND THE FACTS

Since Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain announced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate the rumors about her have been rampant. The media and liberal blogs have been going crazy with the tales about her family, personal life, and time in office. One columnist, when questioned about her criticism of Sarah Palin, said that Sen. McCain should have let the media know that he was looking at Gov. Palin and let the media vette her. Much of the criticism from the media revolves around this premise. They also criticize her for things that most of us here in Mississippi think would be very normal such being from a small town or her religious beliefs being important to her.
