United
Committees
For Life (UCFL)
Each
week at our office we received several requests asking what the
mission is of UCFL. I hope that after reading this document you
will understand our mission as well as how you can be part of an
organization that will eventually overturn Roe V. Wade. I know that
this is a bold statement to make but after you read this material,
you tell me if it can be done.
For
over 20 years we have seen thousands of Pro-Life organizations spring
up all over the country. These organizations could see that abortion
has created a need for people to help the women who were pregnant
and needed a place to go for consultation and help. Today there
are over 3,000 Crisis Pregnancy Centers in the country. Most of
these centers are operated by volunteers.
There
are other Pro-Life organizations that try to bring information pertaining
to the abortion issue to as many people as possible by way of television,
radio, and newspapers. There are flyers that are distributed through
churches, hand outs, and fraternal organizations. There are some
churches that openly speak against abortion and some that say nothing.
Thank God that we have had so many people start the fight against
abortion even before abortion became legal in 1973. Here we are
thirty five years later and there are still people who know nothing
about the abortion issue. This does not mean that those who have
been in the battle against abortion havn't done a great job. It
only means that there must be a better means to educate people about
abortion.
For
the past 20 years I have received thousands of calls from people
from the media of Voices For The Unborn. Here we are 35 years later
and 90% of people have no idea about the horrors of abortion. I
still receive calls telling me that when we say that abortion is
legal through all nine months of pregnancy, they tell me that they
understood that abortion was illegal after the third month of pregnancy.
No one has ever called that knew that there were places they could
seek help to make a decision about having an abortion.
There
has been tremendous effort placed on trying to elect a Pro-Life
person into a public office only to find that many were not elected.
How could they be elected when the people they are asking to vote
for them look at them as a one issue candidate. How can they be
elected when there are many times divisions between Pro-Life groups
where one group tell their people to vote for their candidate and
the other Pro-Life groups tell their people to vote for another
candidate. One case in point was Dornan of California where he lost
because another Pro-Life group supported another Pro-Life candidate.
It is time to realize that there are no St. Francis Of Assisi running
for office so we have to look who will save the most babies from
abortion.
There
are many Pro-Life organizations that have split up into two and
even three groups because someone did not like what the mother group
was doing. In other words, in the past, if someone did not agree
with the leader of the group they would talk others into leaving
the organization and forming a Pro-Life group that was more in line
with one persons feelings. "United we stand, divided we fall'.
No truer words ever spoken. There must be a better way to fight
against the problems I have Just discussed and I feel we at UCFL
have that way. Please take time to read the methods we have established
and understand that our aim is to unify Pro-Life people and organizations
without them having to change there work with their present organizations
and still be part of this project.
A
TIME FOR CHANGE-A NEW BEGINNING
THE
MISSION OF COMMITTEES FOR LIFE
The
mission of UCFL is to make abortion illegal once again in the United
States. In order for this to happen, a new concept must be put into
operation called United Committees For Life. In order to understand
how this will be possible I would like to describe the method of
operation to you.
The
first step is to have five directors of the operation. Each director
will have five committees under them. Each committee will have a
captain and a co-captain in charge of that committee. There will
be a start up quantity of twenty soldiers, as this is a war, in
each committee. As time goes on there will be additional people
signing up to work on each of the committees. Each member signing
up will be asked to fill in information about themselves on an application
blank. This information will be used to determine where the volunteer
can be best utilized according to the expertise of the soldier.
In
order to understand how this UCFL unit would operate you must understand
the reasoning behind the formation of this organization. First of
all, a project will be approved by the directors. These projects
will originate from the specific needs at the time. Once the project
has been approved, a plan of action will take place where the committee
captains will be informed of the jobs they are to do. They in turn
will notify their soldiers to inform them as to what they are to
do and how to do it.
When
a project is first started, the directors will lay out the plan
and decide what committees will be needed to complete the task.
Those committees that are not needed on that specific project will
not be asked to participate in the project. They will only be called
on when other projects are in need of their services. This method
utilizes those people that have agreed to work in the area of expertise
that they have. Many times in the past a project has been put into
operation by asking for volunteers. These good hearted people many
times volunteer to help even though they have no idea how to accomplish
the goal of the project creator. The final outcome is always the
same. The project never is completed and only a handful of people
help because of lack of knowledge as to how they should perform
the task. With the UCFL method, only those people that have the
expertise in the task they are asked to work with would be used
so that everyone involved has a full knowledge and ability to complete
the task.
To
give you an example of this technique, let us assume that a fund
raising project is to be started as one of the first items of a
planed project. The directors would meet to determine which committees
will be needed to complete the task. The Fund Raising Committee
would initiate the first step by bringing in other committees such
as the Phone Bank Committee to make phone calls, the Media Committee
to advertise the event, the Information Distribution Committee to
distribute printed information, and the Special Projects Committee
to assist in special projects. When this package is put together,
it will be submitted to the Directors for approval. Once approved,
the project will be put into operation.
As
you can see, a project could be put into operation very quickly
as everyone involved will have the address and phone number of every
member of UCFL. This would aid in answering any questions involved
in the performance of any project. Everyone involved will know that
everyone involved in a project are experienced in what they have
to do.
As
you can see the initial formation of UCFL will require five Directors,
twenty Captains, twenty Co Captains and four hundred Soldiers. Will
we be able to attain this target? You bet we can. As the volunteers
start to grow, many of the initial volunteers will bring in their
friends and with the media we have, this will bring in additional
members.
I would
like you to picture what would happen if other Pro-Life groups set
up the same system. First of all they would not lose their identity
of their organization. They would only become a unified organization
that would work on mutually needed projects. Voices For The Unborn
completed a Pro-Life directory that contained about six thousand
names, addresses and phone numbers. If each of these organizations
would work together in unity on Pro-Life projects, think of the
power that the Pro-Life organizations would have with a unified
effort that could be put into operation within twenty four hours.
In
order to accomplish all of the above mentioned missions we must
first prove out the system to assure others that the UCFL will be
successful. The best way to achieve this goal is to put a project
together that has never been done before that will prove that the
system will work and show significant advances in the fight against
abortion.
You
may ask yourself, "Who can make all this happen?" The
answer is, "You". If you are interested in being part
of the endeavor, I ask that you fill out the enclosed application
or for more information call our office at 215-355-5292. If you
are a leader in your Pro-Life organization, please contact us so
that we can set up a meeting to discuss how we can work together
as United Committees For Life.

A
TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
A TIME FOR CHANGE
Legalized
abortion has now been the law for over thirty five years. It is
our opinion that it is time to introduce a new method of fighting
abortion. In the United States there are over six thousand Pro-Life
organizations. Each one has a different theme in their work. We
feel that it is time to work in unity with one another. Contained
in this document is a method we feel is the tool needed to accomplish
this mission.
It
is time that we adopt the method of government that has been successful
for over two hundred years and that is our United States Congress.
In Congress there are representatives from every state in the nation.
Each state has a different number of Congressmen based on the size
and population of the state. We propose the same thing. That is
that we build a Pro-Life Congress called United Committees For Life
where each state will have several Pro-Life groups representing
their state with voting power to accept or reject proposals initiated
by the Directors. There will be five Directors who will be voted
into office once all the states are represented in the United Committees
For Life. Fortunately we will not have a two party system as Congress
has today. There will be one party, the Pro-Life Party, who will
be represented by each state in the nation.
We
have already started a base of operation using the system we have
created. There are twenty committees where each one has a captain
and a Co-Captain in charge of each committee. The Captain of the
Committee reports to his Director. There are five Directors with
four committees under each Director. We have received many calls
from individuals who want to help with our mission. They are all
asked to fill in the questionnaire so that we can place them in
the committee where they can do the most good.
Enclosed
with this package is an application we ask you fill in the information
requested if you or your organization is interested in being a part
of this mission. If you need additional information I would suggest
that you call the number listed below and we will gladly answer
any question you may have. We ask that you fill in all the information
requested so that we can better understand what you have to offer
to make this mission the success it will inevitably attain.
