I just received an email with the following information. Please email Illinois Citizens for Life to help correct their Pro-Life rating for Ron Paul. Many, many voters use solely this list to determine their vote! Ron Paul should definitely be listed as a "1". Let's get this changed - asap.
Presidential Candidates Rating
1 - MIKE HUCKABEE (R)
1 - ALAN KEYES (R)
1 - TOM TANCREDO (R)
1 - FRED THOMPSON (R)
2 - JOHN McCAIN (R)
2 - RON PAUL (R)
2 - MITT ROMNEY (R)
Points to metion:
1) Sponsored a bill to define life as beginning at conception.
2) Would leave pro-life legislation up to the states; get the Federal Govt out of the issue by overturning Roe v Wade via legislation.
3) Under our Republic, States rightly have sovereignty over this issue.
4) Pro-Life also encompasses being pro-peace, anti-premptive war, and anti-death penalty.
5) Ron Paul as President (unlike others) would actually DO something about the issue!
Here is the info from the email:
