Allen County Right to Life Releases Endorsements for May 6th Primary
The Allen County Right to Life Political Action Committee Endorses Candidates in the May Primary
Fort Wayne, IN., April 21, 2008 – The Allen County Right to Life Political Action Committee (ACRL- PAC) today endorsed a number of Federal, State, and Local candidates seeking elected office in the Indiana primary election being held May 6th.
“We again this year are certainly fortunate to have an excellent slate of competitive candidates who, in our estimation, have demonstrated passion and support for life,” said ACRL PAC Communications Director, Cathie Humbarger. “Though many consider life a single issue in an environment of many issues candidates are expected by voters to address, we believe attitudes and actions taken towards life are core indicators that speak to the judgment and character of candidates” remarked Humbarger.
The slate of candidates endorsed by the ACRL PAC are:
(Check out the endorsements below the fold)
US Representative, IN 3rd District Mark Souder (R)
IN Representative, 85th District Robert Lee (R)
Allen County Surveyor Allan D. Frisinger (R)
Fort Wayne County Council
Roy Buskirk (R) At Large
James Howard (R) At Large
Paulette Kite (R) At Large
Allen County School Boards
Richard A. Allgeier EACS District 6R
John F. Blum SWAC District 1
Steven L. Gordon EACS District 5R
The endorsements were based, in part, on a survey each candidate was asked to complete. Candidates running unopposed in their Party were not endorsed, and candidates who did not respond to the survey were not considered. The complete list of candidates and their survey responses will be published in the ACRL quarterly newsletter prior to the election, and in Voter Guides produced by ACRL and made available to the public.

It’s good a RtL PAC is making endorsements to oppose the PP’s of the world - but endorsing a SURVEYOR?? Now really - what good would a surveyor do with respect to the RtL issue?

LOL!! Good point Mike. I’m sure the person is a class individual though.

I have no doubts he is right for the job and means well. There just seems something off-kilter if you see campaign literature for County Surveyor with “Endorsed By Right to Life” emblazoned across it.
Of course look at Marion County’s surveyor - she is a liberal activist who likely never measured anything beyond a yardstick.
