The day pro-lifers have anxiously been awaiting since pro-abortion President Barack Obama took office is now less than three weeks away. We've had November 2nd circled on the calendar all year.

Our fears about President Obama have been AMPLY confirmed. A partial list of President Obama's pro-abortion initiatives over the past two years includes:

· Just three days after taking office, President Obama issued a presidential order directing federal funding to organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas. In doing so, he reversed a pro-life policy that had been in effect for the past eight years under the George W. Bush Administration, as well as under Presidents George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.

· Choosing pro-abortion nominees for the Supreme Court who were confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

· Appointing radical pro-abortionists to other high government offices.

· And (most on our minds right now) ramming through with the help of pro-abortion Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a sweeping new health care law ("ObamaCare") which will result in federal subsidies for abortion and the rationing of life-saving medical treatments.

Millions of Americans literally cannot live with this.

Millions of Americans literally cannot live with this.

Right to Lifers across the country are hard at work making sure their voices will be heard. But there's room for more volunteers to join hands with the thousands already who are talking to voters, distributing fliers, and making sure everyone they know is registered to vote.

Want to jump in and help? Contact your local Right to Life group to find out what's going on in your area. You can find that by going to http://www.nrlc.org/states/index.html

So how do you know where the candidates stand? By visiting our new "Compare. Decide. Vote" page over at www.stoptheabortionagenda.com. It will show you the competitive races in your area, and then offer you the opportunity to download a pdf flier that compares the candidates on the life issues. Take that flier and get it in the hands of everyone you know.

Know where to find likely pro-life voters. Churches are one of the most important places to start. Talk to fellow parishioners and ask your pastor if you can leave comparison pieces in the back (the comparison pieces are perfectly legal non-partisan voter education fliers).

If you're pro-life, odds are that lots of your personal friends are pro-life, in addition to the people in your e-mail lists and phone trees. Post the comparison piece to your Facebook page and remind people to share it.

Vote! Not just you, but your friends and family as well. Make sure you know the voting laws for your state, and see if you have early voting. Some states have started early voting already! (See www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Sept10/nv091710part2.html)

Politics is the arena where citizens make collective decisions whose far-reaching consequences will shape the lives of an untold number of individuals. Think for a moment about how different the last two years might have been with a pro-life president instead of a pro-abortion one.

So let me respectfully request that you go all out. Begin by using your social networks to pass this post along. Thanks!
