Welcome to Issues 2008

Here is a quick list of some "Need-To-Know" issues that are of utmost importance leading into Nov 4, 2008.

One of the most important issues should be the right to life. While there are those who believe that no one should be a "single-issue" voter, after all there certainly are many important issues facing this nation, please remember that this country was founded on a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is therefore certain that without a "first things" protection of life, nothing else is going to matter. When an unborn child can lose her life at the hands of the mother's "choice", that child is a human being denied not only her life, but also her liberty and pursuit of happiness.

If readers at this site read or listen to nothing else, the following links are of utmost importance - don't miss out on reading and listening to those immediately below:

For more crucial writings on the rights of the unborn to life, see these excellent articles:

  • Obama's Abortion Extremism by Robert George; Can one be against abortion and still support "choice"? Would we have considered those who opposed slavery during the Civil War as "against choice"? Robert George makes a fascinating case against Obama's Abortion Extremism.
  • A Dangerous Time to be a Black Baby by Anne Hendershott; Nearly half of all African American pregnancies end in abortion. How can a candidate who supposedly stands up for minorities justify his defense of the abortion industry?
  • Albert Mohler has more: Pro-Lifers for Obama? (episode of daily radio program)
  • Obama on marriage: As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws. ...I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. That should be a major concern for all voters with a traditional view of marriage. Read on: PDF document of Obama on marriage.
