Welcome. Welcome to national right to lifes session, the battle before us. It has been an amazing year. Full of surprises. And we have learned not to take anything for granted. The presidency, the house, and the senate are all in play, and we need the help of every one of you this year. We have a panel of people who work every day in these areas here. And i will introduce them briefly. I think you probably know them all already. Dr. David olstein, our executive director. Our president carol tobias, and our Political Action Committee Director karen cross. [ applause ]. National right to life makes a recommendation on a candidate. When they do that, they take their time to collect all the facts and make the best possible decision on the life issue. Dont let the media tell you how to vote. Dont let your favorite commentator tell you how to vote. All of these people have lots of issues, and these issues, a whole range of them, are influencing their opinions. You need to look at the candida

And your prayer and your presence and your words this morning inspire us, so thank ou for being here. [applause] you may be seated. In this place, where horrendous violence was committed falsely in the name of god, we, representatives of the world religions, in this great city of new york, gather to offer words of comfort and prayer, with love and affection we recall the victims of the 9 11 attacks. We pray that their souls and the souls of all those First Responders are forever remembered for eternal blessing. Today and every day may we understand our shared mission to be, in the words of pope francis, a Field Hospital after battle. To heal the wounds and warm the hearts of a humanity in so desperate need of comfort. Intolerance and ignorance fueled those who attacked this place. The courage of todays gathering distin
I want to talk a little bit about the division of iraq or keeping iraq whole. On the one hand, quh you look at some of these borders in the middle east, they were all done by the colonialists and i have often felt why should we be obligated to maintain those borders . Iraq is not a real state. It was slapped together. Youve got the kurds, you have the shia and the sunni, who really dont want to be part of each other, and so particularly the kurds, who have autonomy now, practically have their own nation, and probably will proclaim it very shortly, so my sympathies would be to say to the kurds, well, why should we suck you back into iraq . You have the right to your own nation. Frankly, nobody has ever explained to me why the palestinians are entitled to selfdetermination but somehow the kurds are not.

Right now they are 13 votes shy of 60 votes in the san jose. They are four votes shy of knocking Mitch Mcconnell out of the leaders position and installing chuck schumer. This is by far the most election coming up, but the second most important elections are the United Sta
