Tell our president--and the media--what you think

Are you happy that our president has chosen to spend your tax dollars to promote worldwide abortion? Does it please you that he made this "choice" for you via executive order, thus bypassing the will of the people and their elected representatives? How much of that 400 Million Dollars are you willing to take out of your own pocket to promote killing the unborn in other countries?

I invite you to let the president know what you think of his high-handed tactics. You can email him at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ . I know, he can't read all those emails himself, but I am also sure that he has aides keeping track of the sense and the mood of emails that come in. Let's not let him make a tragic mistake like this one and not even hear about it. Please write!

You can also get in touch with many local and national media by email. Go to http://capwiz.com/fof/home/ . It's easy and effective. This is a critical issue that affects lives of women and children all over the world. Of course, it also affects your pocketbook. Please, it only takes a few moments. Let your voice be heard on behalf of the children.

Shooting Street Kids or Killing the Unborn--What's the Difference?

I can't even begin to express my shock, disappointment and utter disgust at our new president's restoration of funding for worldwide abortion. So much of that taxpaper money will end up in Africa, yet the very last thing Africa needs is free funding for abortion!

How many our president possibly think this is positive change? This is not the kind of change we wanted! In many countries the government simply sends out the police or the military to "clean up" the city by shooting street kids on sight. In other places they load them into huge trucks and then haul them out a distance from the city and dump them someplace where it is impossible for them to survive. How does our president's new order differ from that? Very little! Both deal with children who are unwanted--by someone. Get them out of sight, out of mind. Less strain on social services. A more attractive city for tourists. Mr. President, the human cost of your policy is astronomical.

I am not unfamiliar with the needs and problems of the poor. I have lived with the poor, laughed with them, cried with them, shared their concerns. How does it help them to pay for the killing of their children?

More black children will be eliminated than any other kind. Precious, beautiful black children whose only crime was their mother did not want them, or thought she didn't, in a moment of discouragement. No! No! A thousand times, No! Let the children of Africa live. Amongst them may be another Martin Luther King, Jr.

Please, Mr. President, you have begun your administration on an extremely destructive course, but course corrections are always permitted. No, you need a U turn. They are permitted, too.
