This from Yonkers Advocates of Life director Tony Felicissimo:
Dear Friend of Life:Since my last correspondence about Port Chester many things have happened. To date:1. Over 800 petitions cards opposing the Board of Ed. action were delivered to the Board. These were collected from some churches and the streets.2. Many people opposed to the action have spoken at two Board meetings (this makes three).People supporting the action also spoke at the last two meetings.3. The Board of Ed. and Open Door Family Medical Center have resorted to deception to further their agenda. The flyer I e-mailed you a couple of weeks ago was an attempt to break through the smokescreen created by the opposition.4. The Board is not changing its mind.5. The Schools District will not even consider the Healthy Respect program proposed by us because it's too "hot of an issue now" and will probably not be considered for another 2-3 years - also because it is being perceived as a "religious" issue.6. The open Door clinic has been contacting some of the priests in the community. They are attempting to confuse the priests with misinformation.7. The ad hoc group formed to deal with this issue, THE PORT CHESTER COALITION FOR THE PROTECTION OF FAMILIES, is now considering legal action against the Board of Ed. for not following its own procedures when it approved of this action.8. BLUNTLY: It is quite a battle up there and the spiritual enemy is fighting hard. Please continue to pray and sacrifice for this intention.Thanks. Tony Felicissimo
