Westchester Putnam RTL PAC a Great Success

UPDATE: Note the correction in the comments section as to the number of attendees!

It was an impressive turnout of over 125 people for the Autumn Harvest Breakfast at the River View in Hastings-on-Hudson on Saturday, September 24! Alan Mehldau once again brought us a PAC fundraiser that was high on style and positive networking with pro-life friends and organizations here to help support pro-life values and candidates.

Rev. Msgr. Dermot R. Brennan, stalwart for life, offered the Invocation.

 

Phil Oliva, pro-life candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives gave a rousing welcome to all and touched the audience with his personal story of his family's pro-life struggle through his wife's crisis pregnancy and daughter's birth.

 

Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett spoke on behalf of County Executive Rob Astorino as he presented Proclamations to the day's so-worthy honorees, Patricia Godfrey of New Rochelle and John Mark of Ossining, and keynote speaker Reverend Jason J. McGuire.

Kevin Byrne is running for the Katz seat in the 94th Assembly District with great support.

 

Joy Dechiario introduces John Mark, retired New York City fireman who spoke of his transforming journey to his dedication to many pro-life causes. He especially thanked his wife and mother for their love and support so he could be present for others in need.

 

Patricia Godfrey, whose soft-spoken style and  years of dedication to women in crisis pregnancies and the child in the womb prompted her well-deserved award.

 

The Reverend Jason J. McGuire, Executive Director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, gave the stirring keynote address. He had spoken at the 2013 breakfast and he was excellent then - and even better this time around! Much of this talk centered around the sad but inspirational circumstances he and his wife faced with their fourth child. After physicians suggested an abortion as "therapy", his daughter was born with only two heart chambers. And they could not operate to repair because of another health-related syndrome. The child died four days after leaving the hospital, surrounded at home by her loving family. 

The title of Reverend McGuire's talk was "Staying True in a Blue State."

Looking good! It's great to be a senior. Thanks to Alan Mehldau and Joy Dechiario for another outstanding event for life - thanks to Maryl Turchi for the great photo of Alan and Joy.

 God's blessings to all. Now go and get out the pro-life vote!

 

 

 

 

Good showing by prolifers outside PP's "Gala" fundraiser in Rye Brook

The annual Peconic PP fundraiser - no doubt brings in 100's of thousands of dollars. Held at the Westchester Hilton on Westchester Ave.

As guest speaker they brought in Wendy Davis, the pro-abortion Democrat who ran for Governor in Texas (and lost 59%-38%). Her claim to "fame" is a filibuster against a bill to add some restrictions to abortion in Texas.

BUT, prolifers were at the driveway entrance as the revelers rolled in...

The PP supporters cars were in quite a rush to get past our signs as they entered the driveway ...

Thank you Al, Rose, Regina, Brigid, Ed, et al, for your witness!

Reminder! Rally outside Planned Parenthood Fund raiser - Tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept 27th at Hilton Westchester

From Alan at Westcheste Putnam Life Center -

Rain or Shine! 2016 Empower Gala - Hilton Westchester Planned Parenthood Hudson - Peconic is holding its annual Fund Raiser next Tuesday evening, September 27th, starting at 6:30 PM.    PPHP Empower Gala – Tuesday, September 27th, 6:30 pm Keynote Speaker: Wendy Davis, Former Texas State Senator Honoring: Jane Orans and The Westchester Women’s Agenda Date: Tuesday, September 27th  Time: 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM  Hilton Westchester, 699 Westchester Avenue, Rye Brook, NY 10573

 

As we have done the past three years, we are planning to stand outside the entrance to the hotel, with appropriate signs, and pray peacefully and hopefully show attendees what Planned Parenthood is really about. 

We should be there by 5:30PM, while it is still light, and will leave after the guests have arrived, about 7PM. We will provide signs.  Parking is available on Lincoln Ave, which is just a block west of the hotel entrance or just inside the Hotel entrance on the right.  Flash lights might be a good idea!

    Please let me know if you are able to participate in this educational demonstration.  The space outside the hotel is not great and I would guess would accommodate about 15 +/- .  Either send me a reply to this e-mail or call my office at (914) 232-1168 to let me know if you would like to join us!  God bless!  Alan

Susan B Anthony List outlines Trump's prolife goals

As they quote from Trump's letter to them.

Trump Outlines Pro-Life Commitments, Taps SBA List’s Dannenfelser to Chair Pro-Life Coalition

September 16, 2016

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 16, 2016
Contact: Mallory Quigley, [email protected], 703-380-6674

In Letter to Pro-Life Leaders, Trump Highlights Clinton’s Extreme Position & Pledges to Make Hyde Amendment Permanent Law

Washington, D.C. – In a letter made public today by Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List), Donald Trump outlines four pro-life policy commitments, including his pledge to make the Hyde Amendment permanent law. Trump also enlisted SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser to serve as National Chairwoman of his campaign’s Pro-life Coalition. In the letter, Trump lists his commitments to the pro-life movement:

“Hillary Clinton’s unwavering commitment to advancing taxpayer-funded abortion on-demand stands in stark contrast to the commitments I’ve made to advance the rights of unborn children and their mothers when elected president. I am committed to:

• Nominating pro-life justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
• Signing into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would end painful late-term abortions nationwide.
• Defunding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions and reallocating their funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive health care for women.
• Making the Hyde Amendment permanent law to protect taxpayers from having to pay for abortions.”

The Hyde Amendment is longstanding, bipartisan policy to protect the conscience rights of taxpayers by stopping taxpayer funding of elective abortions. Hillary Clinton has pledged to rescind the Hyde Amendment. For the first time, the Party Platform ratified by Democrats this summer explicitly calls for the repeal of this policy.

“Not only has Mr. Trump doubled down on his three existing commitments to the pro-life movement, he has gone a step further in pledging to protect the Hyde Amendment and the conscience rights of millions of pro-life taxpayers. For a candidate to make additional commitments during a general election is almost unheard of,” said Dannenfelser. “The contrast could not be clearer between the two tickets, and I am proud to serve as National Chairwoman for Donald Trump’s Pro-Life Coalition.”

Co-chairs of the Pro-life Coalition will be announced later this month. National and state-level coalition members in key states will write op-eds, act as surrogates, recruit volunteers, and various other activities to support the Trump-Pence ticket.

Susan B. Anthony List and its partner super PAC, Women Speak Out, have knocked on more than 600,000 doors in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio to turn out the pro-life vote to defeat Hillary Clinton.

Susan B. Anthony List and its Political Action Committees, the SBA List Candidate Fund and Women Speak Out PAC, spent $16.71 million in the 2014 election cycle to defeat pro-abortion incumbents and elect pro-life candidates to federal and statewide office. The SBA List is dedicated to pursuing policies and electing candidates who will reduce and ultimately end abortion. To that end, the SBA List emphasizes the education, promotion, mobilization, and election of pro-life women. The SBA List is a network of more than 465,000 pro-life Americans nationwide.
