Letter to Florida Right to Life

On FRTL's website, you can find the National Right to Life Committee's endorsement of Fred Thompson listed in the sidebar. Since Fred Thompson has dropped out of the race, I, and some others, have decided to write e-mails to FRTL, requesting that they endorse Mike Huckabee. Please join the effort. With Florida's primary looming less than a week away, an announcement of such an endorsement could provide a significant boost for Huckabee.

Here's the e-mail I sent, which you can model if you so desire:

Subject: Urgent Request for You to Endorse Mike Huckabee for President

To whom it may concern:

On your website, I noticed that you list the NRLC's endorsement of former presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Since Senator Thompson has exited the race, I am writing to urge you to give your endorsement to Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas.

Governor Huckabee is and always has been staunchly pro-life. He is the most consistently, fully, and fervently pro-life candidate in the race. He even states on his site that abortion is the issue which originally got him involved in politics. He believes that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. He is opposed to research on embryonic stem cells. He supports a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and he passed pro-life legislation while governor of Arkansas.

In addition, whereas other so-called "second-tier" candidates have either bowed out or shown no substantial presence in the polls, Governor Huckabee has quieted qualms about his electability. Finishing first in Iowa, third in New Hampshire, third in Michigan, and a very close second in South Carolina, he has clearly proven to be one of the main contenders for the Republican nomination. As far as future primaries go, he is either leading or competitive in the polls of numerous states which vote on Super Tuesday.

With the constraints of a modest budget and a lack of inherent name recognition, Governor Huckabee would benefit tremendously from your support. You could provide a significant boost in momentum with the announcement of your endorsement.

Down in the Sunshine State, you've seen, through the story of Tim Tebow, the importance of giving every life a chance. As one of the most important primaries in the nation is about to take place in your state, please take the strongest stand for life that you can. Endorse Mike Huckabee.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
[your name]
