The Declaration of Independence emphatically affirms that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, the first of which is the right to life.

The Bill of Rights reinforces this principle. The Fifth Amendment states that no person shall “be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law” — explicitly protecting the right to life within the legal framework of the United States.

State Representative David Welter (R-75th Dist.) is promoting some town hall meetings next week in Morris, Plano, Wilmington, and Seneca so that he can “listen to your feedback, your questions, and concerns.” We thought you, a conservative pro-family voter in this district, should know how your local state representative has been voting in Springfield.

For a number of important reasons, we believe your local official, Rep. Welter, has failed us. (See this flyer for more information.)… Continue Reading
