MDRTL-PAC: Time to Recommit to the Cause

Volunteers for Maryland Right to Life PAC went above and beyond the call of duty in Maryland's 1st Congressional District, in an all-out effort to promote the election of state Sen. Andy Harris to the seat currently held by Wayne Gilchrest. Despite the hard work of hundreds of volunteers from all over the state,Sen. Harris lost the election by a narrow margin to the Democratic candidate, Frank M. Kratovil, State's Attorney for Queen Anne's County.

The final count on election day had Sen. Harris behind Frank Kratovil by only 915 votes. After absentee and provisional ballots were counted, Frank Kratovil's lead had increased to 2,154. Nevertheless, Sen. Harris carried Harford Co., Baltimore, Co., and Anne Arundel Co. by substantial margins.

Losing an election is painful, but it's not a cause for despair. Already we are looking to the future and recommitting ourselves to the fight. Our cause is a matter of life and death—we are in it, not for ourselves, but for our children … and for the helpless little ones who have no one to speak for them. Let us not flag in our efforts to defend the unborn, their mothers, and all vulnerable human lives.

We have much to do over the next few months to prepare for the 2010 election, and we must be prepared to work for candidates running both for the Maryland General Assembly and for federal office. To do this effectively, we will need many, many volunteers willing to help with grassroots campaign efforts. Please contact MDRTL to find out how you can help!

Voting is both a privilege and a sacred duty. Please register to vote and exercise your right to vote in every election.

For the sake of the little ones, please vote pro-life.
