Dear
Editor:
Dec. 4 could change the anti-abortion
effort and our First Amendment rights forever. On July 12, the
American Center for Law and Justice filed a brief with the U.S.
Supreme Court asking for the court to overturn a federal court
ruling that allowed the use of the federal Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations statute against pro-life organizations.
This act was written to combat drug dealers and organized crime;
it was not intended to be used against people who wish to express
their opposition to abortion or any other issue. If the National
Organization of Women, which brought the suit against Operation
Rescue, prevails, it will ultimately shut down the anti-abortion
movement, send it into bankruptcy and open the door to silence
other protests on any issue.
[to top of second column in
this letter] |
Millions of dollars have been
awarded to abortion clinics since the start of the suit in
1986, paving the way for more clinics and the murder of
millions of innocent children. We must act now!! Call your
congressmen and tell them to urge the Supreme Court to
overturn this case. This is a violation of our First
Amendment right to freedom of speech, and our right to protest. More importantly, we must send a message to the
justices of the Supreme Court, telling them that we will not
be stripped of our right to fight for the unborn child!
Call the following congressmen:
Ray LaHood, (202) 225-6201; Peter Fitzgerald, (202)
224-2854; John Shimkus, (202) 225-5271; and Dick Durbin,
(202) 224-2152.

To the
editor:
Am hoping a descendant of William
Scully might hold some info on my great-great-grandpa, Jeremiah
Scully. They were close cousins and were involved in a shooting
incident in 1849. Charges were brought against them at Clonmel
Assizes, Tipperary, but later dropped.
Does any Scully in Logan County have
any info on my Jeremiah?
Sincerely,
Eileen Campbell
England
