Dear Friend of Life,
Believe it or not, the all-important 2010 elections are rapidly approaching.
And based on the pro-abortion fanaticism of those who control the powers of government – an anti-life extremism that has been on full display throughout the “heath care reform” debates ...
Believe it or not, the all-important 2010 elections are rapidly approaching.
And based on the pro-abortion fanaticism of those who control the powers of government – an anti-life extremism that has been on full display throughout the “heath care reform” debates ...
... it is imperative that you do everything in your power to help advance the protection of life through this year’s electoral process.
That said, here are your marching orders from now until Election Day November 2:
· PRAY! As David tells us in Psalm 127: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”
Not only does Priests for Life need your prayers, but so does our entire pro-life movement.
So click here and make a commitment to say the “Prayer to End Abortion” every day from now until November 2!
The prayer emphasizes your personal commitment to speak and act on behalf of the unborn child. If all pro-life Americans say this prayer with a sincere heart every day, it won’t be long before we batter down the gates of the abortion fortress and set free all who are held captive within!
But that’s not all.
Rather than simply asking God to do something, your prayer acknowledges that God wants to accomplish His will through you ... and me ... and every member of our Priests for Life family.
Which leads me to the second action I’m counting on you to take over these next several months:

Which leads me to the second action I’m counting on you to take over these next several months:
· Provide Priests for Life with the financial support we need in order to carry out our “Political Responsibility” efforts!
Just as in the spiritual life we can do nothing without God, so in our pro-life work, Priests for Life can do nothing without you.
Without question, the most important pro-life work you can do over these critically important next few months is to help Priests for Life convince your fellow Americans to vote this November ... and to VOTE PRO-LIFE!
That being the case, I am going to write to you often from now till Election Day.
That being the case, I am going to write to you often from now till Election Day.
I will do so because your self-sacrifice, constancy and perseverance are the key to winning pro-life victories this November!
So I will be exhorting you to go the extra mile and do more than you think you can.
To give more of yourself than you think you are able.
To stretch yourself further than you think possible.
To die to yourself for the sake of the youngest members of our human family.
To give more of yourself than you think you are able.

To die to yourself for the sake of the youngest members of our human family.
All that while you are giving your all and making sacrifices, so am I ... and so is every single member of our hard-working Priests for Life staff.
We are doing so because there is so much we must do to end legalized abortion in America.
In my last email I told you how Priests for Life is working to recruit more priests and train them how to lead our pro-life movement. That work is incredibly important and a vital part of our overall mission.
But that’s only one part of our current focus.

... Priests for Life is working tirelessly to energize the people of life and inspire them to allow their pro-life convictions to be the determining factor of their every action ...most especially when they go into the voting booth and cast their ballot!
Several weeks ago I emailed you the “Action Steps for 2010 Elections” that Priests for Life began implementing in January. You can click here to go to our election headquarters where the various elements of that plan are spelled out in detail.
This new project is exceedingly important and, once completed, will play a vital role in allowing us to win our battle to end abortion.
Let me explain.
As you no doubt know by now, America is becoming increasingly pro-life. All the major polling services – from Gallup to Rasmussen to Pew – reveal that to be true.
What we need to find out about our new-found pro-life comrades is this:
Let me explain.
As you no doubt know by now, America is becoming increasingly pro-life. All the major polling services – from Gallup to Rasmussen to Pew – reveal that to be true.
What we need to find out about our new-found pro-life comrades is this:
· How strong is their pro-life commitment?
· How vibrant is their pro-life activism?
· Have they ever prayed outside an abortion clinic or taken part in a pro-life event?
· How motivated are they to vote in the 2010 elections?
· How important is a candidate’s pro-life or pro-abortion position when they decide whether or not to vote for him or her?
· How much does their priest or pastor influence their voting decisions?
In other words ...
... are these millions of Americans who say they are pro-life as passionately and ardently committed to the cause of life as you and I are?
In order to find out, Priests for Life is going to hire a professional independent company to do a comprehensive study of Americans who say they are pro-life. The purpose of the study is twofold:
1. Once we know how many pro-life Americans intend to vote this November, Priests for Life will alert candidates to the political reality that their position on abortion will be a key factor in whether or not they win election in November.
2. The results of the research will show us how we need to fine-tune our “Political Responsibility” projects in order to maximize their effectiveness in convincing pro-life Americans – and especially those who are Christian – of their moral obligation to vote pro-life this November.
Right now we are in the process of formulating, with the help of polling experts, the precise questions that have not been answered adequately by previous polling.
This research study is one more example of how Priests for Life is thinking “outside the box” in order to bring about the end of abortion.
If we’re serious about saving the youngest members of our human family, then one of the first things we have to do is end the tyrannical control of our government which pro-abortion extremists now have. In other words, we have to change the status quo.
Well, Priests for Life is doing everything in our power to bring about that change.

Well, Priests for Life is doing everything in our power to bring about that change.
But we desperately need your help in order to succeed!
The penitential season of Lent is upon you. This is the time of year when you are invited to use the traditional practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving to die to yourself so that you might live for God and His kingdom.
Allow me to recommend that you make Priests for Life a recipient of your Lenten prayers and almsgiving.
In so doing, not only will you begin the process of detaching yourself from the things of this world in order to build up treasure for yourself in heaven – “where neither moth nor rust consumes, nor thieves break in and steal” – but it will also provide you with the opportunity to follow the command Our Lord gave us in Matthew’s gospel when He told us to serve the needs of the least of His brethren.
After all, in our present culture, there is no one who is considered more “least” among us than the unborn child in the womb.
If you will do this, then I am certain that on that inevitable day when you stand trembling before the throne of Almighty God, you will see Him look upon you with love and hear Him say to you:

for I was abandoned in My mother’s womb, and you rescued Me!”

Thank you for your help today and for all that you do for our pro-life cause. May God bless you. And know that in heartfelt appreciation for your many sacrifices on behalf of the youngest members of our human family, myself and all the priests of Priests for Life remember you at each Mass we offer.
And if I may ask you one more favor. Each year I survey our supporters to learn how we can serve their needs more effectively. After giving your donation, would you take a moment and fill out the short survey I've placed at www.priestsforlife.org/survey. It is very important to me to know what you're thinking about our ministry!
