YCRC Mtg Call, 3 Oct 2013 & info
Greetings, Fellow Republicans!
I hope you all are enjoying the hints of autumn temperatures…and getting ready to work hard to help our candidates win in just a few shorts weeks!
è Please note that the October meeting will be at York High School’s Auditorium (at rear of YHS side parking lot next to the football field). We’ll be inviting many local Republicans to attend as our Exec. Vice Chairman Chad Green has worked hard to secure a special guest speaker for us, so we’ll need more space for all our guests ! He’s requested our candidate for Governor Ken Cuccinelli to speak with us & fire us up for these last few weeks, but as the campaign schedule across the Commonwealth is “fluid” this close to Election Day, we may have a special surrogate speak on his behalf. Chad has been assured that, if Ken isn’t able to attend, a very special surrogate will be visiting us. As soon as we know the details, we’ll let you know – but it will be worth you time to attend and get fired up for the last few weeks of the campaign & Election Day! Please invite your friends to attend! This is a great way to invite new people to join us, too!
è CAMPAIGN FOCUS @ 3 OCT mtg.: Bring your calendars to next Thursday’s meeting as you’ll need to check your schedules for when you can help the campaigns with phonebanking, door knocking, letters to the editor, and other activities to help convince those who are still undecided – even at the polls on Election Day. It’s up to each one of US, folks – VICTORY is in YOUR hands…what do YOU plan to do to help our candidates WIN from now until Nov. 5th ?? Come to the meeting to learn ways to help and sign up to VOLUNTEER FOR VICTORY!!
è Stop by our York County Republican HQ (on Rt. 17 across from Harwoods Mill reservoir, just north of Walmart) for Cuccinelli, Jackson, and Obenshain & your Delegate (Helsel, Watson, Pogge) yard signs & bumper stickers! Pick up some literature about our candidates, also, so you can spread the word about why they’re the best choice for Virginia’s success! (You can, also, stop by to help make phone calls to York County voters and even do some door knocking in our neighborhoods!) HQ operating hours are Mon. – Sat. 9 AM – 9 PM & Sun. 2 – 6 PM.
è We’ve learned that next week’s 3 October YCRC meeting date & time is, also, a York County fundraising event for Del. Brenda Pogge. Her team apologizes for the schedule conflict, but they were unable to schedule another date. If you plan to attend Brenda’s event, you can go at the beginning for a quick visit & support and then come over to the YCRC meeting at York HS Auditorium for two great events in one evening! Remember – we need you at the YCRC meeting to finalize our plans for the final campaign push and Election Day!
è This coming Saturday, 28 Sept. from 6 – 8:30 PM, Del. Brenda Pogge is having a special event to discuss the Farm Freedom Bill and view the movie FARMAGEDDON – the Unseen War on American Family Farms. (http://farmageddonmovie.com ).It will be at King’s Way Church Sanctuary, 5100 John Tyler Hwy., Williamsburg, VA 23185. For more information, call 757-223-9690 or visit www.brendapogge.com .
è The minutes from the 5 September YCRC meeting are not attached but will be emailed prior to the 3 October meeting for your review. Once again, a special Thank You! to Kris Butz for filling in as Temporary Secretary in Sec. Robin Milewski’s absence!
I look forward to seeing you all at next Thursday’s meeting at York High School Auditorium and working with you for our candidates these last weeks to Election Day!
Have a wonderful week!
For God and Country,
Lynda

Media Hailed Wendy Davis’ Abortion Filibuster as Heroic, But Attack Ted Cruz
The media treatment of Ted Cruz and his anti-Obamacare filibuster is a significant contrast from the way it handled the filibuster Texas lawmaker Wendy Davis mounted to keep abortions legal in Texas up tot he day of birth.
Sen. Ted Cruz, also from Texas, pulled an all-nighter in the U.S. Senate as he advocated for the defunding of Obamacare. Wearing black tennis shoes for comfort in the same way Davis sported pink sneakers, the Texas senator started speaking at 2:41 p.m. on Tuesday and has continued for almost 20 hours as of this writing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/media-hailed-wendy-davis-abortion-filibuster-as-heroic-but-attack-ted-cruz/
Kermit Gosnell Uses Margaret Sanger’s Arguments to Defend His Abortions, Infanticides
I’ve often thought that one of the best things that could happen to the pro-life movement is for the “pro-choice” movement to get its own 24-hour cable channel.
Just give them a camera, give them a microphone, and let them talk. And talk. And talk some more. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/kermit-gosnell-uses-margaret-sangers-arguments-to-defend-his-abortions-infanticides/
China’s One-Child Policy Turns 33 as Forced Abortions, Female Infanticides Continue
Today, China will mark 33 years of the one-child family planning policy that has resulted in massive human rights abuses, including forced abortions and coercive sterilizations.
Started in 1980, the policy, which prohibits most Chinese couples form having more than one baby and limits rural residents to two, has resulted in severe human rights abuses. Family planning officials frequently jail couples who refuse to comply, sentence them to house arrest or labor camps, revoke jobs or governmental support, use physical harassment or violence and often target other family members. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/chinas-one-child-policy-turns-33-as-forced-abortions-female-infanticides-continue/
11 Things “Pro-Choicers” Don’t Get About Abortion
1) It’s not about choice; it’s about abortion. I mean, really, what “choice” are we talking about here? The “choice” to what? We’re not debating the “choice” to keep your child and raise him yourself. We’re not arguing over adoption, either. The sole thing we have a difference on is abortion. That’s what we’re debating here. So let’s get real.
You’re either pro-abortion or you’re pro-life. If you support the “choice” to abort, then you are pro-abortion. And if you have a hard time with that, maybe you should reconsider your beliefs… http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/11-things-pro-choicers-dont-get-about-abortion/
My Son Would be Four Today, But I Can’t Celebrate His Birthday Because I Aborted Him
As summer turns to autumn and the leaves on the trees begin changing hues and the air gets a bit cooler, my heart remembers. This is the time of year I should have welcomed my first child into the world. He should be turning four this year, as he was due at the end of September or beginning of October.
He should be playing, laughing, learning, growing, and a part of my every day. I should be baking a birthday cake with four candles to be blown out. The day should be full of balloons, presents, and all things related to a little boy’s birthday. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/my-son-would-be-four-today-but-i-cant-celebrate-his-birthday-because-i-aborted-him/
575,000 Participants, 7,500 Babies Saved But Networks Have Never Covered 40 Days for Life
As thousands gather across the world in a campaign against abortion, one group will likely remain absent: the media.
September 25 marked the beginning of the fall 2013 40 Days for Life, an international pro-life campaign of prayer and fasting for the unborn and their mothers held in 306 cities this year. The Washington, D.C. chapter held a vigil to raise awareness the night before, hosting as speakers Catholic Information Center’s Director Father Arne Panula and Susan B. Anthony List’s Deputy Director Billy Valentine. No media attended other than the Media Research Center. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/575000-participants-7500-babies-saved-but-networks-have-never-covered-40-days-for-life/
Little Sisters of the Poor Sue Obama: Don’t Force us to Obey HHS Abortion Mandate
A Catholic religious order, the Little Sisters of the Poor, has filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration asking the courts to protect them from being forced to comply with the HHS abortion mandate. The mandate compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions.
Yesterday, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Little Sisters of the Poor, a religious order of Sisters dedicated to caring for the elderly poor. Without relief, the Little Sisters face millions of dollars in IRS fines because they cannot comply with the government’s mandate that they give their employees free access to contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/little-sisters-of-the-poor-sue-obama-dont-force-us-to-obey-hhs-abortion-mandate/
Is Abortion Justified When the Unborn Baby is Disabled?
The New York Times recently published an article titled “My Abortion, at 23 Weeks.” The author explains that she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but that the boy was diagnosed with a herniated diaphragm. He would require surgery and life support for a period after birth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/is-abortion-justified-when-the-unborn-baby-is-disabled/
The Ugly, Unknown Story Behind Roe v. Wade
It’s not often that I agree with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but she was right for more reasons than she probably realized when she said last year that the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade went “too far, too fast.”. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/the-ugly-unknown-story-behind-roe-v-wade/
Death Dinner Parties: People Gather Over Dinner to Discuss Dying
The new craze in the Manhattan social scene isn’t related to the latest cocktail, the newest bar or the next fabulous dance club. Instead, top socialites are gathering together for old-fashioned dinner parties with a new twist: a conversation about death and dying. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/death-dinner-parties-people-gather-over-dinner-to-discuss-dying/
Abortion Activists Defend Abortionist Who Failed to Report Statutory Rape of 13-Year-Old Girl
In an article on Care2 entitled “Pregnant Teens are Just Political Pawns to Anti-Abortion Activists,” a pro-choice author blasts pro-lifers for filing a complaint against abortionist Dr. Ulrich Klopfer.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/abortion-activists-defend-abortionist-who-failed-to-report-statutory-rape-of-13-year-old-girl/
California Will Put Abortion Above Women’s Health if Brown Signs Bill for Non-Doctor Abortions
The abortion industry struggles – often very effectively – with a public relations dilemma. No one wants to fully admit what they support. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/california-will-put-abortion-above-womens-health-if-brown-signs-bill-for-non-doctor-abortions/
40 Days for Life Pro-Life Prayer Event Begins Today, Changes Lives Forever

Netherlands Kills 4,188 in Euthanasia Last Year and Vermont Has Fewer Safeguards
Although assisting suicide is only legal for a small fraction of the world’s population, its advocates in the U.S. and abroad remain focused on promoting this dangerous legislation. While opponents of euthanasia and assisted suicide have long warned of the dangers to vulnerable populations, evidence of abuse is mounting in Europe. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/netherlands-kills-4188-in-euthanasia-last-year-and-vermont-has-fewer-safeguards/
