Whether you are able to carve out five minutes or five hours or five days out of your busy schedule, it’ll quickly become obvious that there is more information about the 2008 presidential election than any of us can possibly peruse. That is why it is hat’s off to NRL PAC for the creation of two new invaluable websites.

They are http://www.stopobamainfo.org/ and http://www.mccainprolife.org/. What will you find there? Glad you asked.

• There are video montages of Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama discussing abortion. This allows you to watch both candidates tell you (in their own unfiltered words) what they think. What you will see and hear are real eye-openers. This is incredibly important because sizable percentages of the American public do not know Senator McCain’s position on abortion or Senator Obama’s position on abortion.

• There is an Interactive Form that allows you to forward the links to your family and friends. The accompanying text gives a thumbnail (but comprehensive) overview of each candidate’s position and voting record. But there is much more.

• Under “Where do the Candidates Stand on Life?” you’ll find a link to a page that compares the two presidential candidates. That page can also easily be downloaded and distributed.

• At the bottom (under “How you can Help Save Lives in November”) you’ll find a wealth of information. To begin with the interactive map of the United States allows you to quickly connect to your NRLC State Affiliate. In addition, there is a petition you can sign (“America Does Not Agree with You, Senator Obama"); a way of keeping your friends and family updated; and a ton of factsheets, candidate comparison sheets, and interactive videos.

• You can also read various "Today's News and Views" articles on the candidates, both background articles and the very latest information.
