Dear Pro-Lifer,

This past year has seen many crucial battles for the pro-life movement. Already in this Congress, you and I have increased House and Senate support for our Life at Conception Act, and are poised to make pro-abortion politicians pay a heavy political price this November [mid-term elections] for their insistence on taxpayer funding of abortion.

But today I'm worried. You see, I want to be absolutely sure you received an important letter I sent you recently. It was dated December 27, 2013 and contained your 2014 NPLA Membership Card. At that time, I asked you to renew your membership in the National Pro-Life Alliance.

But this past week I double-checked my records and, unless we missed it, I still haven't heard from you. If you did not receive your card, let me know at once. If you did receive your card and have already responded, then forgive me for writing you so soon. But I didn't want to take the chance of losing you in 2014.

...you are very important to the pro-life cause and all we are fighting for. So if you haven't yet renewed your membership, I urge you to take this opportunity now. I can't stress enough the urgency of you responding today.

Your decision to stay with us advances the National Pro-Life Alliance's Legislative Plan against abortion-on-demand in ways that can't be counted. The level of support you've given to the efforts of the National Pro-Life Alliance is more important than ever as we head into 2014 and beyond.

There is no question that the pro-life movement still faces threats and challenges from a pro-abortion White House and Senate. But you and I also have new opportunities.

With so many new Members of Congress claiming they are pro-life, it is vitally important that you and I push to get them on record by insisting they cosponsor and vote for effective pro-life protections like a Life at Conception Act.

That's why it is so important you and I not only reject the abortion lobby's agenda, but force roll call votes on a Life at Conception Act which would end all abortion-on-demand.

And, of course, the beauty of a Life at Conception Act is that it would use Roe v. Wade's own wording to end abortion-on-demand by guaranteeing all persons – including unborn children – are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The fact is, the very Supreme Court that wrote Roe v. Wade in 1973 admitted in that decision that no such "right" to an abortion would exist if Congress were to establish unborn children as "persons."

The ultimate passage of this bill and ending all abortion remains the top offensive legislative priority for your Pro-Life Alliance.

Meanwhile, your National Pro-Life Alliance will continue its work to shut off the flow of taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry, outlaw RU-486 and other chemical abortion pills, and fight hard to give parents the right to stop teenage abortions.

You can be proud of what you have accomplished . . . and encouraged about what your grass-roots pressure can achieve in the upcoming year.

Your financial help will allow the National Pro-Life Alliance to run the most hard-hitting and aggressive lobbying campaign possible in Washington, D.C.

With targeted TV, newspaper, and radio ads funded by your contributions, you and I can keep the pressure on wavering politicians. NPLA's combined federal and state-by-state strategy of targeted mail, follow-up phone calls and media is very effective, but it is also time-consuming and costly.

With the politicians already out looking for votes, it's crucial you and I intensify our grass-roots efforts immediately.

But the National Pro-Life Alliance is caught in a financial bind. I can't afford to cut back in any area because all our lobbying programs are so critical.

We must mobilize massive grass-roots pressure to overcome pro-abortion politicians still in control of the White House and the Senate to:

*** Empower parents to stop an abortion from being performed on their minor daughter by passing the Parental Notification and Intervention Act;

*** Work to ban all so-called "home abortion pills" and stop the Obama Administration from forcing all Americans to buy insurance that must pay for abortifacient drugs like RU-486 and EllaOne;

*** Strip from the budget billions of tax dollars that the White House hopes to channel to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, under the guise of "healthcare."

Politicians from both political parties – particularly those new freshmen who claim to be pro-life – must know that you and I will be demanding they make good on their promises.

We cannot allow the work you and I do defending the innocent unborn to be neglected even for a minute. We've made tremendous strides in the fight to save the lives of the innocent since you joined the National Pro-Life Alliance, and I pray you will continue. The National Pro-Life Alliance owes its existence to you.

So I'm counting on you to renew your membership today with a generous contribution. In my earlier letter, I asked you to renew as a Silver member with a membership contribution of $50.

Because of your past generosity, I didn't want to ask you for any more than necessary for essential programs. So I estimated how much you and each of our members would have to contribute to enable us to reach our minimum budget.

Your contribution came to $50. I know this was a lot to ask. But since I didn't hear from you, maybe I asked you for too much. If so, I hope you'll contribute at least $25.

You're a vital member of the team, so I hope I'm not out of line asking for that amount. But whatever you send, you'll be a member in good standing for 2014.

Even if you can't give $25, please do what you can. Every dollar is urgently needed now. Pro-abortion politicians -- backed by a hostile media -- will try to undermine everything you and I have accomplished and hope to accomplish.

I know together you and I can ultimately end abortion-on-demand. But I can't do it alone. I need you with me. Please don't abandon our fight now. Send $25 today (NPLA, 5211 Port Royal Rd, Suite 500, Springfield, VA 22151-9906).

Sincerely,

Martin Fox

President

P.S. You can be proud of what your National Pro-Life Alliance has accomplished, mobilizing a record level of support for the Life at Conception Act and other pro-life measures.

It would be a shame to lose you now, after we've come this far. Please renew your 2014 National Pro-Life Alliance membership with a contribution a contribution of $25 at once.

Abortion Stops a Beating Heart

Life at Conception Act

Winter 2014

Dear Pro-Lifer,

We hear you loud and clear. In response to our annual Membership Directive last month, the number one priority of National Pro-Life Alliance members is to ultimately pass the Life at Conception Act which would overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion-on-demand.

Thanks to your activism and that of other National Pro-Life Alliance members nationwide, you and I have increased support for the Life at Conception Act in each of the last five Congresses.

And this year, if every Member of Congress who claims to be pro-life would actually support the Life at Conception Act, we would have a majority as cosponsors in this Congress.

Now to keep the momentum growing, you and I must both continue to recruit more cosponsors and push for both House and Senate votes on a Life at Conception Act.

That's why I hope you will sign and return [requested] enclosed petitions for my staff and me to deliver to your Congressman and Senators.

In the last election, most of the members in Congress either ran as pro-life candidates or remained silent on the issue in their campaigns.

Now, with this critical mid-term election being billed as a national referendum on Obama's presidency, you and I must hold every politician's feet to the fire and demand they come out unequivocally pro-life or face the consequences.

That's why it's so important we do all we can to put politicians on record on the Life at Conception Act. By simply defining life as beginning at the moment of conception -- something that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution permits Congress to do -- this bill would legislatively overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion-on-demand.

Even the Supreme Court admitted that once the personhood of the unborn is established the so-called right to abort will "collapse."

Thus, a Life at Conception Act is the most feasible way to overturn Roe v. Wade and end 40 years of abortion-on-demand in this country. And with the elections approaching, it's no surprise to see the politicians more interested in your opinion.

To keep up the momentum, it is vital I have massive numbers of signed petitions from you and other NPLA members in your state to present to your Senators and Congressman urging them to take action on a Life at Conception Act.

I'd like to see that our House and Senate bills receive yet another record level of support in this session and ultimately win roll call votes in both the United States House and Senate.

When my staff and I visit Congressional offices in the coming weeks to urge floor action on the Life at Conception Act, can I take with me petitions in your name to your Congressman and Senators urging them to cosponsor and demand a vote on a Life at Conception Act?

Repeatedly lugging in a flood of petitions from voters will demonstrate to your Senators and Congressman the urgency of taking action better than any words I can say.

Every step you and I take to advance a Life at Conception Act is an important step towards ending abortion-on-demand, because this issue clearly distinguishes the true pro-life champions from the politicians who merely talk pro-life.

That's why I hope you won't delay a moment to return your signed petitions so that I can deliver them to your Congressman and Senators.

And, along with your petitions to Congress, I hope I can count on your financial support -- whether it's $100, $75, $50, $25, or whatever you can afford -- to help pay for your National Pro-Life Alliance's growing campaign to build support in Congress for an ultimate end to abortion-on-demand.

It's crucial you and I send a clear message to Congress that we're not leaving. As long as babies are being slaughtered right in our own back yards, we will continue our fight with everything we've got.

Sincerely,

Martin Fox

President

P.S. We've come too far to give up now. It's time to hold the politicians' feet to the fire and demand they live up to their pro-life campaign promises by forcing votes and ultimately passing the Life at Conception Act.

So please sign and return to National Pro-Life Alliance the enclosed petitions for your Congressman and Senators, Along with your maximum contribution at once.

[Please request for Petition to Overturn Roe v. Wade (NPLA, 5211 Port Royal Rd, Suite 500, Springfield, VA 22151-9906 or Sign online Petition!).

(Sample)

Petition to Overturn Roe v. Wade

to Congressman Vance McAllister

Whereas: In the last election, the untold story is that most new Members of Congress either ran as pro-life or were silent on the issue: and

Whereas: Because of Roe v. Wade, more than 56 million unborn children have died through abortion; and

Whereas: In Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court declared it could not resolve 'the difficult question of when life begins" – and on the basis of this unresolved question, declared a new "right to abortion" based on a "right of privacy;" and

Whereas: The 14th Amendment to the Constitution 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 law;" and

Whereas: In Roe, the supreme Court admitted: 'If... personhood [for the unborn] is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment..... (Roe v. Wade [410 US 113 at 156-7]); and

Whereas: The American people oppose abortion-on-demand and want innocent human life to be protected especially when it is most defenseless; and

Whereas: It belongs to Congress to resolve the question the Supreme Court said IT cannot resolve; and

Whereas: A Life at Conception Act, by declaring that unborn children are persons legally entitled to constitutional protection, will rescue millions of unborn children from dying by abortion-on-demand;

Therefore: I urge you to push for a vote on the Life at Conception Act, and to do everything necessary to win ultimate passage in the United States House of Representatives.

Abortion Stops a Beating Heart

More than 56 million innocent unborn babies have died at the hands of abortionists since the Supreme Court legalized the slaughter of the unborn in 1973. Without leaders in Congress who are willing to all out in defense of the unborn, the slaughter will continue. That's why the National Pro-Life Alliance has been conducting a Pro-Life Candidate Survey in every state across the country asking candidates where they stand on pro-life legislation.
