Cain receives Georgia Right to Life endorsement

FOREST PARK, GA (June 7) - Today, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain received the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life.

   “I am honored to receive the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life,” said Cain. “I also want to congratulate Rep. Mac Collins for receiving the endorsement. I am sure Georgia Right to Life would have loved to endorse all three U.S. Senate candidates, but as we all know, Rep. Johnny Isakson is not pro-life and the voters will not be fooled.”

   Rep. Isakson campaigns as pro-life here in Georgia, but he casts pro- abortion votes in Washington. As a result, Georgia Right to Life recognizes that Isakson is a threat to the unborn. GARL understandably endorsed Rep. Collins because he is pro-life and the organization has a 12-year working relationship with him. GARL endorsed Herman Cain because they understand that he has always been pro-life and that this race is between Herman Cain and Isakson.

   Cain, the first candidate to go on television and radio, has been steadily building an unparalleled grassroots organization across Georgia. The first to go on statewide television and radio, Cain was neck and neck with Isakson in fundraising last quarter. Cain also recently opened two field offices outside Atlanta that cover South and Southeast Georgia.

   Dan Becker, Georgia Right to Life PAC Director, said, “Mr. Cain, we are honored to inform you that you have received our endorsement. You have always been pro-life and we know that he will always be pro-life. As a strong candidate and a man of great moral integrity, we trust you to lead the fight to protect innocent life in Washington.” 

   Nothing is as sacred as life, and Cain has pledged to protect the unborn in the United States Senate. He will introduce legislation that will restore legal, moral protection of human life and confirm conservative judges to the bench. He opposes the use of tax dollars to pay for abortions, abortion research and activities which could encourage abortion as a ''solution'' to problem pregnancies. Cain is against any fetal experimentation which requires or results in the death of an unborn child. He will support legislation requiring parental notification and consent before an abortion is performed on a minor child. He will work against any attempts to legalize the RU 486 abortion technique and any attempts to make Partial Birth Abortion legal.

   “Georgians need a United States Senator who says what he means here, then votes the right way in Washington,” Cain continued. “I will lead the fight to protect innocent life in the U.S. Senate.”

   In recognition of Cain’s pro-life views and conservative message, he has received the endorsement of many other pro-life organizations, including: Republican National Committee for Life, Eagle Forum, The Madison Project and Home School Legal Defense Association. Team Cain is leading the other campaigns in grassroots organization. 

   Herman Cain, a conservative Republican from McDonough, Ga., is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA). A successful businessman and author of three books, Cain has served as Chairman and CEO of Godfathers Pizza as well as head of the National Restaurant Association. Married for 35 years, Cain has two children and two grandchildren. He is also an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta.
