Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that “we are holding our position.” We’re not holding anything. Let the [enemy] do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.

So it should go in the battle to create a culture of life and protect the institution of marriage. Next Tuesday, Nov. 8th, we have a chance to shift the balance of power in the Iowa Senate and go on offense.

Currently Democrats control Iowa politics with a 26-24 majority in the Senate.

But if Republican Cindy Golding defeats Democrat Liz Mathis in the special election in Iowa’s 18th Senate Seat District (which includes the area to the north and east of Cedar Rapids), the balance of power will be shared and we will again have a chance to introduce pro-life, pro-family legislation.

Currently the Democrat Senate majority leader is blocking all efforts to pass pro-life legislation, and to allow the people to vote on the definition of marriage (Iowa judges imposed gay marriage on the state in 2009).

Planned Parenthood is already involved in this race supporting the pro-abortion Democrat Liz Mathis. On the other hand, The National Organization for Marriage (where I work) is already involved in this race supporting the Republican Cindy Golding who supports allowing the people of Iowa to vote to overturn gay marriage.

Small local elections such as these are won and lost with a very small number of votes. Those of us who live in the district or who live near the district can help swing the election our way. Absentee voting has already begun, so there’s no time to lose!

I urge you to visit the Cindy Golding campaign website to see how you can help elect her. If you live in the district, vote for her. If you know people who do, talk to them about voting for her. If you live near the district, consider volunteering your time to help the get out the vote effort. If you live far away, support her financially, and pray for a good outcome.

Together, we can take back ground. No more holding our position!

… that sound you aren’t hearing is the sound of the mainstream media ignoring the news.

Meanwhile, the special election in NY-9 (Brooklyn & Queens NY) is shaping up to be very interesting. Pro-life, pro-marriage Catholic Bob Turner is taking on pro-abortion, pro-gay-marriage David Weprin to replace disgraced Anthony Wiener in Congress, in a district that Democrats have a 3-1 voter registration advantage.

Will Bob Turner pull it out? We’ll certainly see! I’ll be tweeting tonight as the results come in.

Meanwhile, if you live in this district (or have friends or family who do) please go out and support Bob Turner!

UPDATE: Bob Turner won tonight’s special election 54%-46%! A huge upset and awesome news! More from me after I catch a few hours of sleep. In the meantime, see the AP coverage.
