Dear
Jerry,
On March 11th, 2008, MRL is
sponsoring a Pro-life Action Day at the Missouri State
Capitol. We will be lobbing for legislation that
requires:
- Mandatory ultrasounds before abortions
- Informing a mother that a baby feels pain during
an abortion
- Requires protection for women from coerced
abortions
In addition
we will lobby for legislation that prevents the creation
of animal/human hybrid beings and promote a complete ban
on all human cloning in Missouri.
It is
critical that we have hundreds of people at the
capitol. Not only to lobby for the passage of
these very important pro-life bills but also to send a
message to our elected officials, the media and the
public that pro-life Missourians are a large, unified
block of voters that stand together to have their voices
heard. The legislators, elected officials and
political party leaders (of both parties) seem to be
discounting or ignoring pro-life and pro-family
constituents and March 11th is critical to show that we
will not be discounted or ignored.
In order to
help us promote this important event, please consider
doing the following:
- Send this E-News to all your pro-life family and
friends.
- Distribute flyers to churches in your area. Click
here for copy of the flyer.

- Do follow up phone calls to pastors to see if
it's been posted, announced. etc.
- Find out the pro-life activist or coordinator for
each church. Call them and ask them to organize
a group from their church to come to the legislative
day.
- Run a bulletin announcement in church bulletins
2-4 weeks prior to the legislative action day. Click
here for sample bulletin announcement.

- Make copies or email/call MRL State Office (573-635-5110)
to send more flyers. Take flyers to any
businesses that will accept them. This will
probably be more successful in the smaller towns and
rural areas.
- Use flyers as an ad in your local paper. Add
information to the ad on local transportaion, i.e.
meeting place for car pools, buses, etc. and a local
contact number.
- Make phone calls to pro-life activists in your
area and ask them to participate in the legislative
action day. Click here for sample script.
