Subject: RE: Pondering the election results

Yesterday's New York State primaries yielded some interesting results, not the least of which is that the major Republican nominations are now held by pro-lifers:

1.  Governor's Race

Carl Paladino, the pro-life "Tea Party" candidate, crushed the establishment GOP candidate, Rick Lazio.  Paladino will oppose pro-abortion and pro-same-sex "marriage" Andrew Cuomo in the general election.

Oddly, Mr. Lazio won the Conservative Party's primary and will appear on the ballot in November.  This could be a significant problem for the Conservative Party, which has to get 50,000 votes in the gubernatorial race in order to stay on the ballot.

2.  Attorney General's Race

Eric Schneiderman won the Democratic nomination for AG.  This is very bad.  He is a pro-abortion, pro-same-sex "marriage" zealot who likes to boast that he used to work as an abortion clinic escort.  He will oppose Dan Donovan, the Staten Island DA, who is pro-life.

3.  US Senate Races

In the race for the seat held by pro-abortion Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the Republican nomination was won by Joe DioGuardi, an old pro-lifer who served in Congress many years ago. 

In the race for pro-abortion Sen. Charles Schumer's seat, the Republican nomination was won by Jay Townsend, a pro-lifer.  

Sincerely in Christ,

Edward T. Mechmann, Esq.

The Right to Life Party has worked hard to give you the latest and best-possible pro life candidate information. These candidates have been vetted for their pro life values and (hopefully) pro life views once elected. Like all human endeavors this grassroots process is imperfect, but while some candidates disappoint, most do not as they try to incorporate defense of the unborn and understanding of the dignity of all human life (this should be everyone's goal!) into their sworn elected office responsibilities. Think about Mayor Amicone in Yonkers and County Executive Rob Astorino. Where we do not succeed at the polls, we succeed in sharing vital, life-affirming information through participation in the electoral process. 

Go to the website above or below; copy and bring into the voting booth for your convenience! Share this information with others who might ask you for candidate voting suggestions.
