HUMAN LIFE IS OUR NATION'S GREATEST ASSET

The killing of innocent human life is destroying our society--not just morally, but economically as well. Unless we stop this slaughter of innocents, our nation is doomed.

Throughout the world, most especially in the United States and Europe, human life has been devalued, and anti-human ideologies have infected our communities and government. Innocent human life has become a disposable commodity.

In the economic sphere, those who promote the sanctity of life are under attack by socialists and "progressive" economists who see population growth as an enemy of the economy. Tragically, the latter's neo-Malthusian policies and practices have become institutionalized in federal and state legislation.

Over the last 40 years, the federal government has spent billions upon billions of tax dollars to promote population control at home and abroad. These anti-baby, anti-natalist programs have included abortion by both surgical and chemical means, as well as mass sterilization.

It is time for the federal government to end its "Stop the Stork" campaign initiated by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the early 1970s, and replace it with pro-family and pro-natalist policies-- which served this nation well from the founding of the Republic up until the passage of anti-life legislation four decades ago.

It is the family which is the building block and foundation for a civilized society. The family existed from man's beginning-- before the creation of the State and the Church. We need to support legislation that supports the family and remove legislation which undermines and endangers the family.

If elected to represent the people of the State of Florida, I promise to work tirelessly, openly and publicly to promote and defend the sanctity of all human life from cradle to grave. I promise to fight especially hard for the most vulnerable of our citizens-- especially the mentally and physically handicapped, born and unborn, and the aged and indigent. When our poor reach out for bread, they should not be given stones to eat. But a socialist environment does not help the poor. This is why it is critical that we support private sector growth-- so that more jobs can be created. Americans should be able to enjoy the fruits of their own labor-- without dependency on the government.

To date, 50 million Americans have been surgically aborted and millions more have died by chemical abortifacients and devices.

Do we really want to continue this systematic destruction of our future citizens while the push for euthanasia of the elderly and the infirmed becomes ever more aggressive?

To be for abortion, is to be against your own survival.

Please note that the above figures do not include the millions of human embryos who have been destroyed in pseudo-scientific programs involving human stem cell research and IVF programs.

What will become of our nation, if this human carnage is not stopped?

For every death sentence delivered on an unborn child by abortion, or an elderly patient by euthanasia-- is a death sentence delivered upon our own nation.

As a candidate for the United States Senate I am committed to uncompromising action in defense of the sanctity of all human life which comes to each of us as a gift from Almighty God.
