IN APPRECIATION

It is with special appreciation that we thank you for your vote in the year 2002 against a state budget, which contains almost $140 million for abortion-related funding. While voting against funding for the killing of unborn children should be the innate response of every legislator, many a heart grows faint under political pressure. You are the stout-hearted.

You have made the right decision before God and man.

You have kept your promise, a virtue esteemed.

 Sincerely,
