Dear Conservative Friend,
In July 2007, Barack Obama promised a group of his supporters that, if
elected president, he would sign perhaps the most evil piece of legislation
in the history of our republic.
It's called the "Freedom of Choice Act," or FOCA -- but don't let the
Orwellian title fool you. It isn't about "freedom" or "choice" at all. It's
about forcing each and every American citizen -- regardless of his or her
view on abortion -- to support abortion-on-demand not just as a "fundamental
right" but as a taxpayer-funded entitlement.
But the compulsion wouldn't stop there. Because FOCA would also run
roughshod over the conscience rights of doctors, nurses, and hospitals that
oppose abortion on religious or moral grounds -- forcing them to provide or
counsel for abortion or face professional de-certification, loss of funding,
lawsuits, and even prosecution.
Not only that, FOCA would immediately strike down any and all state
restrictions on abortion -- even those with wide popular support, such as
prohibitions on partial-birth abortion and parental notification
requirements for minors seeking abortions.
Make no mistake: FOCA is the most radical piece of pro-abortion legislation
ever proposed, one that would go far beyond Roe v. Wade in making abortion a
government-protected and taxpayer-supported "right," through all nine months
of pregnancy.
That's why I'm asking you today to support HUMAN EVENTS in its efforts to
stop this outrageous piece of legislation before it ever reaches President
Obama's desk.
Let me explain why this is possible -- and how
HUMAN EVENTS plans to do it...
You see, in his 2007 campaign pledge to Planned Parenthood members, Obama
promised that signing FOCA would be "the first thing I'd do as president."
The only reason he hasn't followed through on that promise is that
Democratic-controlled Congress has yet to introduce and pass it.
Why the delay? For one thing, they've had bigger fish to fry -- such as
trillion-dollar "stimulus" packages and a new government-run health care
system. They learned from Bill Clinton's immediate post-election action on
gays in the military not to squander a new president's honeymoon period on
divisive social legislation.
But also, by delaying, they can lull their pro-life opponents into thinking
that FOCA has been tabled, while quietly building support for it in a
stealth propaganda campaign that is already underway using major media
outlets -- such as the Washington Post, which recently ran a piece in its
"On Faith" section called "Why Fear FOCA?"
But with your help, HUMAN EVENTS will defeat the pro-abortionists' "stealth"
media campaign with its own media blitzkrieg designed to counter pro-FOCA
lies and propaganda with the facts.
Here's how it will work...
The main weapon in HUMAN EVENTS' media blitzkrieg will be an in-depth
Special Report called, "The Facts About FOCA: Truth vs. Propaganda in the
Battle Over the Most Radical Pro-Abortion Law in American History."
Written in consultation with the finest legal minds of our time, "The Facts
About FOCA" will reveal how, despite pro-abortionists' attempts to
soft-pedal its potential impact in order to ensure swift passage, the
Freedom of Choice Act would:
a.. Establish abortion as a "fundamental right," elevating it to the same
status as the right to vote and the right to free speech -- going beyond any
Supreme Court decision in enshrining unlimited abortion-on-demand into
American law
b.. Eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide -- including 44
states' laws concerning parental involvement, 40 states' laws on restricting
later-term abortions, 46 states' conscience protection laws for individual
health care providers, 27 states' conscience protection laws for
institutions, 38 states' bans on partial-birth abortions, 33 states' laws on
requiring counseling before an abortion, and 16 states' laws concerning
ultrasounds before an abortion
c.. Compel taxpayer funding of abortions through state and federal welfare
programs, federal employee insurance plans, and in military hospitals.
d.. Force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform
abortions
e.. Force doctors and nurses to provide counseling and referral for
abortions
But creating "The Facts About FOCA" is just the beginning. HUMAN EVENTS will
then publicize and distribute it on a massive scale, both in print versions
and online, to provoke a massive outpouring of voter outrage that will stop
this evil law from being enacted.
Included among the activists, opinion-makers, and other influential citizens
to whom HUMAN EVENTS will distribute "The Facts About FOCA" will be:
a.. Pro-life, conservative, and/or Republican activist groups on HUMAN
EVENTS' own extensive nationwide list, with an invitation to help spread the
word by ordering and distributing inexpensive bulk reprints of the report
b.. Top editors, reporters, and syndicated columnists on every major
metropolitan and regional paper in America, plus many local ones. HUMAN
EVENTS will give them blanket advance permission to reproduce the report in
whole or in part, without paying royalties
c.. Talk-radio hosts in every radio market in the country, from Rush
Limbaugh on down. Again, HUMAN EVENTS will allow them to quote from it as
extensively as they wish, at no cost
d.. TV news editors, anchors, and reporters at all the networks and cable
news channels, as well as local affiliates
e.. All 435 members of the U.S. House and Senate, with additional copies
for their staff members and committee aides
f.. More than 150,000 dedicated HUMAN EVENTS readers
And you, of course, will be first to receive "The Facts About FOCA" -- no
one will get it before you do!
Can HUMAN EVENTS do it?
YES - because they've done it before
In 2004, HUMAN EVENTS helped an obscure organization with no money known as
the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth publicize their claims about John Kerry.
They had planned a commercial for a small number of local TV markets. But
before it even ran, HUMAN EVENTS posted the ad on its website and leaked it
to Matt Drudge -- then sent out hundreds of thousands of email messages
calling attention to it over several weeks.
Result? Tens of millions of people were able to view an ad that otherwise
would have reached a few hundred thousand at best. That, in turn, helped
make a #1 New York Times bestseller out of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat
Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, published by HUMAN EVENTS' sister
company, Regnery -- provoking the New York Times itself to concede, "If John
Kerry loses the presidential election, Unfit for Command, by John E. O'Neill
and Jerome R. Corsi, will go down as a chief reason." He did, and it was.
I promise you, HUMAN EVENTS can accomplish the same sort of thing with "The
Facts About FOCA."
But They Need YOUR Help
Creating and distributing "The Facts About FOCA" on a massive, nationwide
scale will not come cheap. But it will be worth every penny if it helps
defeat this deadly and freedom-destroying legislation.
It wouldn't be fair to pass on that cost to HUMAN EVENTS readers by hiking
subscription rates. And unlike most liberal publications, they receive no
support from big corporations or foundations -- for whom they're about as
"politically incorrect" as you can get.
Which leaves people like you -- dedicated conservatives who share not only
HUMAN EVENTS' pro-life principles, but their commitment to making an impact
on the great political struggles of our day.
It's going to be tough, but I believe we can do it. Your donation will help
HUMAN EVENTS "fight the good fight" against FOCA, and support it in its
ongoing mission to promote limited government, individual liberty, and
traditional values.
And to express their gratitude for your donation of just $75 or more, HUMAN
EVENTS will send you a complimentary hardcover copy of The Party of Death:
The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life,
written by National Review senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru.
Of course, any amount you send will be greatly appreciated -- and they'll
send you a copy of their special report, "The Facts About FOCA," to thank
you for your contribution big or small.
Donate now so we can bring "The Facts About FOCA" to the American public --
and stop the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" in its tracks.
Best Regards,
Mike Huckabee
P.S. Just like HUMAN EVENTS' "Swift-Boat" exposure helped to sink John Kerry
in 2004, "The Facts About FOCA" could prevent this outrageous piece of
pro-abortion legislation from ever reaching the desk of President Obama --
who has promised to sign it. HUMAN EVENTS needs your help to tell the public
the truth and spark a firestorm of voter opposition before it's too late.
Please make as generous a contribution as you can today.
