Life of the Party

Welcome New Readers

Glad you're here.  Please take a look at the Welcome Page, where you will find the purpose of this website stated in two posts, when it was launched in September of 2006:

1) To inform pro-lifers in Washington State of where the candidates stand on the pro-life issues, early enough in the campaign season, that you aren't duped into supporting the establishment's choice, rather than letting them hear from you who your choice is in the primary and 2) To make the case to the Republican Party as a whole, that we must stand up for the unalienable Right to Life because it is a winning issue when presented correctly, but most of all, because it is the right thing to do! 

Life of the Party, since its launching, has existed through one full even year political season, when we elect legislative and executive offices for state and federal level and announced a statewide list of endorsements based on objective criteria: their stated support of the protection of the Right to Life, from conception to natural death, without discrimination of any kind (such as rape, incest, life or health of the mother, the percieved need to destroy a human life for cells to cure another's disease, etc.).  Any interested Republican who does not see their favorite candidate(s) listed on the endorsement list, should know that either a) the candidate chose not to answer the survey of Human Life of WA or the RNC for Life or b) they answered the survey and did not meet the objective criteria for a Life of the Party endorsement.

As the author of this blog, I reserve the right to make this material public for all of WA voters and interested readers from outside of WA as well, particularly for pro-life Republicans and pro-lifers in general, to make informed choices.  At times, there may be candidates that I personally support that fall slightly short of an endorsement here, based on my close discernment and evaluation of the candidate to be trustworthy and their openness to consider the points I make here, as well as their position on other important issues.  An endorsement from Life of the Party is not automatic for all Republican candidates, no matter how popular they may be among Republican leaders and their followers or the media.

Life of the Party Endorses Delavar for Congress

Life of the Party is proud to endorse Michael Delavar, candidate for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District. 

Michael is a principled candidate who is committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution and ending legalized abortion through the most sensible means of defining personhood as beginning at conception or "fertilization" in the law.  This simple step would automatically place preborn children under the protection of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which states in part, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." 

Not only does Michael hold true to the first of our founding principles, the Right to Life, but across the board, he examines every issue with the guiding light of the Constitution.  At times, this puts him at odds with pro-life organizations and with his party.  But it ought not be that way.  His position on Life is solid, not discriminating towards babies conceived through rape or incest, and he only differs with pro-life organizations on some of their pragmatic legislative proposals, because a) they violate a particular constitutional principle or b) they further enshrine Roe vs. Wade into the law.  With his party, he is at odds over the war, but his position is more in line with traditional Republican thought in the model of Robert Taft.  Republicans who fancy themselves Goldwater or Reagan Republicans, would do well to go back and read the book A Choice Not an Echo by Phyllis Schlafly, which helped to propel the candicacy and presidential primary victory of Goldwater, and ultimately paved the way for the Reagan Revolution.  Shlafly's book exposes the backroom manipulation by big government figures in past Republican primaries, to ensure that no conservative got nominated within the party.  The primary issues were opposing big government, including the New Deal domestic policies and foreign interventionism, both of which benefited the fat cat power brokers who were manipulating public opinion through their media and corporate connections.  Robert Taft was considered a model conservative in this landmark book. 

This brings us to Michael's primary challenge, which will be covered here soon.  For now, please visit Michael's website and donate or get involved to help this principled, pro-life, constitutional, freedom loving candidate for Congress!

Pro-Life Republican to Challenge Brian Baird

A pro-life conservative Republican, Michael Delavar will challenge Democrat Congressman Brian Baird (who is rated 100% pro-choice by NARAL) in the third congressional district of Washington State.  Here is what Michael has to say about protecting innocent human life:

Life begins at conception, and the right to life is an inalienable right granted by our Creator. Therefore, I believe that the right to life trumps the right to privacy. Roe vs. Wade is unconstitutional and should be overturned.  I support bills such as  H.R. 1094 (Sanctity of Life Act of 2007), which defines life as beginning at conception.  Ultimately, if a government fails to protect our fundamental right to life, it cannot be counted upon to protect our liberty.
