Buchanan truly represents many pro-life Republicans

After the first debate, Reform Presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan released the following statement.
"George W. Bush sold out the pro-life movement and stacked arms in the battle for our unborn children. Rather than denouncing the FDA decision that certified the culture of death by legalizing a human pesticide, he focused on keeping women safe while they kill their babies. His mild `disappointment' rings hollow, and his pathetic concession that abortion should be `rare' betrays the cause of life. Today conservatives see Big Tent Republicanism's final destination: no litmus tests, no principled stands, no changes in the status quo. This assault on their ideals will not go unchallenged, for in this election there is another candidate fighting their cause — one with the courage to stand where the GOP stumbled in Boston."
For those of you that are strongly pro-life and disappointed with the weak support of the Republican national leaders, now is your chance to make a statement. Bush will win Indiana. A Democrat has not won here since LBJ in 1964 and the next before him was FDR in 1932. He is leading strongly in the polls and most analysts list Indiana as solidly in Bush's camp. But you can make a statement. You will not give Indiana's electoral votes to Gore, so vote your conscience.
Show national headquarters that there is a group of conservatives that do not like the back of the bus. If Pat Buchanan gets at least 5 percent of the vote they will have him and his views and support to contend with in 2004. You are not wasting your vote. You are making a statement. You are building an opposition party.
