I really hope that everyone will consider contacting their senators on June 17! (If you don't know about this, look at my previous post.) There are many websites that will help you with who to contact and what to say, and so on. I'll share a few of the most helpful here:
First off, to find your senator, go to http://senate.gov/. Look in the top, right-hand corner and select your state. Both your senators will pop up and you can visit their websites, find their office locations and/or email them. Also, I will have all the contact information for all 100 senators on the Nation page shortly.
Also, http://www.sba-list.org/ is a very good website! I would encourage you to sign up for the newsletter and become apart of the community. In their emails, they will have links where you can easily find your legislator and email them all from the sba-list website!
Different websites that I think I have already mentioned on this blog that are helpful are http://prolifeamerica.com/, http://aul.org/, and http://liveaction.org/. On these, you can sign up for the daily newsletter to be aware of what's going on in D.C. and the legislature of various states.
Something that makes contacting your legislator easy is when a website gives you all the information you need and you practically just have to put your name and email in and click send. As I have mentioned above, the sba-list does this and they have one going right now. It fits perfectly with what we are going to do on June 17, so if you feel like you need help with how to go about contacting your senator, but you still want to do it, click here. This will take you to a web page on which you can personalize a message that they have already written for you. Make sure that you say your name and your age!! By letting them know how old (or rather how young) we are, we can make a huge impact.
Thanks so much for supporting life!
In Christ,
Aubry

Planned Parenthood: A hungry giant worth fighting against
Anyone read about what's going on in D.C. lately? Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, is being funded by the government with our tax dollars. Please watch this video to understand more about what Planned Parenthood is really doing.
As our country is falling further and further into debt, the government is trying to find ways to cut what is being spent. There are things that are being funded by the government that might surprise the average person (i.e. theme parks, yes, theme parks). Abortion should be one of those surprises. A recent House bill, H.R. 3 (the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act), was voted on by Representatives. H.R. 3 proposed cutting funding of Planned Parenthood clinics, completely. The House voted in support of H.R. 3, 241-185. This was good because it meant Representatives were actually doing their job and representing the people. However, the Senate voted against it 58-42, so the bill was not passed! This ultimately means that Senators are not representing the people.
Here's where we come in: As young people, we can catch probably the most attention by contacting our legislators. So, I'm encouraging you to contact your senator about this issue! And we'll make it easy for you too. On Friday, June 17, we will all make phone calls, write letters, or email both our senators for our state. We will all do it at the same time so as to attract the most attention possible. It is so important that we make a name for ourselves, and what better time than to start right now? A time when Planned Parenthood is vulnerable! I will put all street addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers of all 100 senators on the Nation page of this blog. You'll just have to find your state, and contact both your senators. Things to include in your letter/phone call would be:
Remember, June 17, we will all contact our senators! Please, please, please consider doing this! This could mean saving millions of lives this year if Planned Parenthood gets no money from the government. And spread the word! Let your friends know about this! Feel free to email them the link to this post! The more young people we get to contact legislators, the more impact we will make!

- Where you live (town)
- "Please vote to defund Planned Parenthood"
- Why is abortion wrong? (This is something really good for you to come up with by yourself. Everyone should have their own convictions and personal reasons. If you need help with this, email us at wecantignore@gmail.com for more information about the evils of abortion.)
