Your Help Needed as NRLC Launches "E-Lobbying Week"
Part One of Three

By Jonathan Rogers
NRLC Field Coordinator

Part Two brings you up to speed about the latest fallout from the election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Part Three discusses a disastrous assisted suicide proposal in Scotland. Please send your much appreciated thoughts and comments to daveandrusko@gmail.com. If you'd like, follow me on http://twitter.com/daveha.

In less than 24 hours, hundreds of thousands of people will gather all over this great nation to commemorate the 37th anniversary of a devastating self-inflicted wound: Roe v. Wade. The sense of duty and dedication shown every year by the pro-life movement as it gathers in state capitals and our nation's capital is a living testimony to the continuing vitality of this great grassroots movement for social justice.

While reflecting on the past this week, we must act in the present, for the sake of the future. National Right to Life is launching an "E-lobbying" campaign, a massive week long effort to encourage at least 250,000 pro-life American who have not yet contacted their representatives, to do so immediately.

In its role as the "flagship of the Pro-Life Movement," NRLC has been at the forefront of the movement to reject any health care "reform" that promotes abortion or rationing. An untold number of Americans have lobbied their elected representatives over the last year, but that is only a beginning.

As I write this entry the pro-abortion Democratic congressional leadership is working with pro-abortion President Barack Obama to find a way to get around the obvious rejection of the current health care "reform" that was at the center of the successful campaign by Scott Brown to win the Massachusetts Senate seat previously held by the late Ted Kennedy. We must not allow this to happen

What can you do to help make NRLC's "E-Lobbying" a big success? Visit www.nrlactioncenter.com and follow the simple instructions to quickly and easily send a prepared message to your representatives, urging them to reject the pro-abortion health care legislation. Then exhort your family, friends, church, and all pro-life individuals you know, to do the same.

Please pass the message along to your entire community, whether through the traditional network of individuals, groups, businesses, and churches, or via the online network of e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. Everyone must go to www.nrlactioncenter.com

And if you have already sent a message to your congressman and two senators, please send another. Right now, because of Brown's stunning victory, they have their ears to the ground.

In urging your fellow citizens to inform our elected officials, you will be reminding them of the tragedy of Roe v Wade. You will be helping to shape a pro-life culture.

In response to the Supreme Court's 1973 decision, the New York Times famously proclaimed that the abortion issue was finally "settled." Thirty-seven years later, you have demonstrated that you have only begun to fight.
