Now that the folks behind Prop 8 have passed a constitutional amendment declaring that separate but equal is A-ok here in California, they’re back on the task of ending choice in the state. Like they’ve done in other states, they’re going for a personhood initiative. The party of biblical (and those who are fooled into joining) law, the American Independent Party, is ready to take that Prop 8 energy to end a woman’s right to choose. Fired up!<\/p>\n
Just over a year ago you and a majority of California voters were able to protect marriage in our state through Proposition 8 in a major victory for our children and families. The key to success was our willingness to unite north and south, urban and rural, across what could have been significant barriers, to work hand-in-hand for what we all know is Biblical truth and for the benefit of everyone.<\/p>\n
Now we have an opportunity to work together for the good of all – and we can save millions of lives in the process through the California Human Rights Amendment (known as CHRA). Similar movements are taking place in over 30 states across the country as God is at work everywhere.<\/p>\n
Here in our state, the CHRA will amend the California Constitution to ensure that human rights for everyone begin at conception. A child not yet born will thus have the same rights and full protection under law as those of us who have a few years on us.
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIn fact, a judge in Carson City recently tossed the Nevada version off the ballot<\/a>. This is a dangerous and explosive initative that should scare all supporters of choice in California.<\/p>\n
So, who is this? Why it is the same Dr. Jim Garlow who went off on video about the gayz coming to rape your children<\/a>.<\/p>\n
At this point, I’m still pretty skeptical about this getting on the ballot, but if it does, we’ll have a do-or-become South Dakota fight on our hands. Check the full letter over the flip.<\/p>\n
Dear AIP Affiliates and Friends,<\/p>\n
Just over a year ago you and a majority of California voters were able
\n
to protect marriage in our state through Proposition 8 in a major
\n
victory for our children and families. The key to success was our
\n
willingness to unite north and south, urban and rural, across what
\n
could have been significant barriers, to work hand-in-hand for what we
\n
all know is Biblical truth and for the benefit of everyone.<\/p>\nNow we have an opportunity to work together for the good of all – and
\n
we can save millions of lives in the process through the California
\n
Human Rights Amendment (known as CHRA). Similar movements are taking
\n
place in over 30 states across the country as God is at work
\n
everywhere.<\/p>\nHere in our state, the CHRA will amend the California Constitution to
\n
ensure that human rights for everyone begin at conception. A child not
\n
yet born will thus have the same rights and full protection under law
\n
as those of us who have a few years on us.<\/p>\nThis important initiative is currently in the petition stage in
\n
preparation for voting in November 2010. Before it can get on the
\n
ballot, however, 1.2 million signatures must be collected by mid-April
\n
from those registered to vote in the state.<\/p>\nCollecting that many signatures is a huge undertaking, as we know, but
\n
we also know it is possible if we all work together as we did for Prop
\n
8. The help you and your friends and associates, political allies and
\n
congregation can provide now is critical to achieving the goal – and
\n
fortunately, it’s not difficult when each of us does our part.<\/p>\nPlease learn all about CHRA and download the petitions at
\n
www.CaliforniaHumanRightsAmendment.com<\/p>\nIf everyone takes at least one petition and collects the ten
\n
signatures permitted on each from friends, co-workers, fellow church
\n
or other association members, neighbors, and family members who are
\n
California registered voters, all of us working together can
\n
accomplish this task in a very short time. Be sure to ask them if they
\n
too would like to circulate the petition. Ask them who else they know
\n
is likely to sign or would be interested in circulating a petition.
\n
(One circulator per petition.) To ensure the validity of the
\n
petitions, be sure to read all the instructions on the website
\n
carefully. For example, you must use legal sized paper printed
\n
front-and-back and ensure that the font size (how big the letters are)
\n
and margins are exactly as specified.<\/p>\nAlso on the website you will find instructions for finishing,
\n
addressing, and mailing the petitions. They must be received by early
\n
April, but to insure success, we ask you to mail your petitions in
\n
small groups as soon as they are returned to you.<\/p>\nIf you or others in your circle of friends want to do more to ensure
\n
the passage of the CHRA, you will find that information at
\n
www.californiahumanrightsamendment.com as well. As with Prop 8,
\n
passage of this amendment needs prayer, volunteers who can help in a
\n
variety of ways, and financial donors too.<\/p>\nNone of us can do this alone, but together “all things are possible”
\n
and with God’s help, you and I can save countless lives and future
\n
generations of Californians.
\n
In addition, to meet up with like-minded people,
\n
see below for Sanctity of Life Weekend Events.
\n
Your Invitation to Action!Sanctity of Life Weekend – January 22-24, 2010 with 4 Pro-life Events<\/p>\nWe are approaching Sanctity of Life Weekend 2010, the 37th anniversary
\n
of the battle to reverse the stain of the Roe v Wade decision of
\n
January 22, 1972, which made the killing of the pre-born legal in our
\n
country.<\/p>\nMuch has been accomplished. For the first time in recent decades, a
\n
majority of Americans are identifying themselves as “Pro-Life”.
\n
Actions are taking place in California and in 30+ other states to give
\n
human rights to babies at conception! However, much remains to be
\n
accomplished and together we need to protect the lives and rights of
\n
the pre-born more than ever before. Together we can effect change with
\n
eternal significance.<\/p>\nYou, your friends, political allies, and your congregation are invited
\n
to participate in the following four events as together we push
\n
forward to preserve the lives of millions of future Americans!<\/p>\n6th Annual West Coast “Walk for Life”<\/p>\n
