Right
to Life of Michigan
Political
Action Committee
RLM-PAC
is the political action arm of Right to Life of Michigan. Since, by
law, RLM cannot endorse or actively support candidates for public
office, a political arm is necessary. Experience has shown that election
time is a most important time to build legislative support for laws
to protect life.
Before endorsing or aiding candidates, the Political Action Committee
(PAC) must follow a carefully established criteria which includes
a candidate survey and interview, an examination of past voting record,
a gauging of the candidate's credibility and a judgment of the particular
circumstances of each race.
What
is the PAC?
The RLM-PAC
is composed of people whose firm belief, held in common, is that human
life is a vital force which has value and dignity.
We see life
as deserving the protection of our Constitution and all our laws. We
deem all human life of such great importance that we sacrifice willingly
to ensure that protection for the unborn is again upheld in our Constitution.
Aside from our great ideal held in common - protecting the unborn,
those with disabilities and the elderly frail - we are a divergent
people from widely varied backgrounds with varied viewpoints: conservative,
moderate and liberal.
The
PAC's role.
Many elections
are won or lost by a small percentage of the total vote...usually
5% or less. This is called the "swing vote" because an important public
issue and effective organization can cause voters to "swing" toward
one candidate or another.
Abortion is
one of the most important issues to ever confront our nation. The
most effective way that prolifers can help prolife candidates - and
directly influence an election - is through direct endorsement.
The RLM-PAC
is designed to identify and endorse the most effective voices for
the unborn - for those who have no voice themselves.
The RLM-PAC
makes endorsements without regard to party affiliation and supports
candidates at the local, state and federal levels. A strong voice
for the unborn and others whose lives are threatened is our only goal. Vote
Prolife!
