Last day to register for the May 16 Primary Election
Are all of your family members and pro-life friends registered to vote? If not, they have to register today to be able to vote on May 16. Remember that only democrats and republicans can vote in the primary election, and only for candidates of the party under which they are registered.
For Erie County residents, the voter registration office will be open this afternoon until 4:30 p.m.
But remember that online voter registration is very easy and only takes about two minutes.
People for Life is conducting a survey of local candidates. The responses to our questionnaire will be published before the election in our Erie Echo newsletter. The newsletter will be mailed to approximately 6,000 households and will also be available on our website.

DISMEMBERMENT ABORTION The fight to stop Dismemberment Abortion in Pennsylvania and roll back the late term abortion limit from six months to five months continues. Right now the focus is on the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. So please continue "lobbying" your Pennsylvania state Representative with phone calls and e-mails. Contact information can be found on the Contact Your Legislators page of our website.
HIGH SCHOOL ORATORY CONTEST People for Life's annual High School Oratory Contest was held this past Saturday at the Blasco Memorial Library. First place went to Peter Caulfield, 15, a high school junior, and second place went to Timothy Caulfield, 18, a high school senior. Peter spoke about lethal medical experimentation on human embryos, touching on its similarities with more primitive forms of human sacrifice. Timothy spoke about end of life issues including doctor-prescribed suicide, active euthanasia, and the circumstances under which a person may properly choose to forego life-extending medical treatments. Both speakers were outstanding! We will publish the two speeches in the near future.
MOTHER'S DAY CARNATION PROJECT Would you like to help raise much needed funds to continue the work of People for Life? Our most immediate need is funding for this year's slate of pro-life educational booths right here in northwestern Pennsylvania. Well, if your church is not already involved in this pro-life project, you could round up a few helpers and seek permission to offer our beautiful Mother's Day carnations after church on Mother's Day weekend for donations of $1 or more. People will definitely want to give them to their mothers and grandmothers, and they will probably want some just to take home for themselves as well. Call 814-883-1333 for all the information. (This is a fun project, and it is easy because the carnations practically sell themselves.)
LIFE RUN 2017 Our annual Life Run will be held on October 14 this fall. The event is expanding to include a 10K run as well as a 5K run and fun walk. Please help us spread the word about the new 10K. And please plan to join us! Online registration is already open, and the URL is an easy one: http://www.peopleforlife.org/runinfo
