NARAL WA Endorses Assisted Suicide

What a surprise!  The freedom to kill, from cradle to grave. 

Full Report of Washington GOP Convention

Coming Soon!

Highlights include:

Allocated National Delegate Ballots with only one candidate (pre-screened by John McCain staffer), and no option for write-ins or nomiations from the floor.

Ron Paul takes 4 unallocated national delegates from the state of Washington. 

McCain & Party Leadership led a March Out in Exodus, in order to pull quorum, to avoid debate on the issues. 

When the March Out backfired due to the hefty quorum remaining, the McCain & Party Leadership Marched back in to fillibuster and obstruct the body from completing any other business.

Still, the body managed to pass three pro-life resolutions including: support for a Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, opposition to the WA state Assisted Suicide Initiative I-1000, and support for the freedom of conscience for pharmacists to not despense abortion drugs.  In addition, the body passed a resolution opposing any military action on a nation without the U.S. Congress declaring war, which is in keeping with our Constitution.

The spontaneous Ron Paul March and Rally immediately following the convention, signalling this movement has just begun. 

Please stay tuned for the full report.  I need to get reacquainted with my family and then find an opportunity to write a blow by blow.  Meanwhile, TVW has full coverage of the convention business.  Note: there are three segments and they are long.  Most interesting are segments B and C.  More details can be found here, here and here. 

My apologies to Geri Modrell (Snohomish Co. Republican Chair), who appears to have stayed during the "march out".  It was reported to me otherwise, and I am sorry for repeating that misinformation.

Georgia Poised to Pass Human Life Amendment

Jan. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, Jenny Hodges, National Director for Pro-Life Unity at ProLifeUnity.com is distributing 20,000 signed petitions to Georgia representatives at the state Capitol. The petitions were signed by citizens of Georgia. Georgians for Life, a grassroots effort, assembled the petitions to show the Georgia representatives that there are many people in Georgia who know that abortion must end. This effort follows the Let Them Live Rally, an event sponsored by Pro-Life Unity, which was held yesterday, January the 14th, 2008.

According to Hodges, this petition campaign is proving that grassroots efforts are reaching out to communities and challenging abortion. She said that this will be the year that Georgians take charge of protecting their own people.

The Let Them Live Rally at the Georgia Capitol was in support of HR 536, a Human Life Amendment and was submitted by Rep. Martin Scott. A steady stream of people came to the rally, closing two lanes in front of the Capitol for almost four hours.

Georgia's Human Life Amendment:

Life Amendment
(currently known as HR536):

Paramount right to life. (a) The rights of every person shall be recognized, among which in the first place is the inviolable right of every innocent human being to life. The right to life is the paramount and most fundamental right of a person.(b) With respect to the fundamental and inalienable rights of all persons guaranteed in this Constitution, the word 'person' applies to all human beings, irrespective of age, race, sex, health, function, or condition of dependency, including unborn children at every state of their biological development, including fertilization.
