Letter to the Editor )car I:ditor, I want people to recall the events of the last year. I want them to think about all the things that have happened around the world, just in the last year. I hope they will say, out loud, everyone has the right to life and no one has the right to take it from them. Saint Pope John Paul II said, \Proclaim and give witness to the Gospel of life!\ That will require courage and strength. There are people already speaking doom and gloom about 2016. If as a nation we would gather all of our courage and strength, each day, and \proclaim and give witness to the Gospel of life\ it couldn't be a year filled with doom and gloom. I ask that we resolve to be the nation we were formed to be in this new year. January 22 is the tragic an- niversary of a shameful event in our country's history and a time to reflect, throughout that day, on respect for the human person. \What is at stake is the dignity of the human person whose defense and promotion have been entrusted to us by the Creator, and to whom the men and women at every mo- ment of history are strictly and responsibly in debt.\ Cate- chism of the Catholic Church. Every person in the nation, ei- ther born here or arrived here by whatever means, expects from the United States of America, dignity of the human person. They expect to receive the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness contained in our country's Declaration of Independence. Considering, not just what has transpired in this last year but in the last several years, it would seem like a good time for all of us to read or re -read all of the Dec- laration of Independence. If a copy isn't readily available to you, I am sure your local li- brarian can direct you to a copy. It reads in the third para- Weather Vane Jan 6 30 9 Jan 7 24 12 Jan 8 19 0 T Jan 9 4 -19 T Jan 10 26 -16 T Jan 11 27 17 T Jan 12 35 8T YTD Moisture - T graph, \We hold these trusts to be self-evident. That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\ But do we? Under a law cre- ated by the Supreme Court, not the law -making branch of our government, Roe v. Wade, does everyone have the right to life? No. Should they have the right to life in this country? Yes. Considering the revela- tions about the practices of Planned Parenthood in this last year. Don't you feel compelled to march for life? The danger- ous facts of a new law, Oba- macare, have made it clear that not everyone's life is impor- tant or to be preserved. Don't you feel compelled to march for life? I hope you feel the need to do something tangible to change the direction we have been going in, as a na- tion, for the last 43 years. I do and I will be at the East Rail- road parking lot in Baker, Montana, Friday, January 22, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. I want to show others that all life mat- ters, and we all have the right to live with the dignity en- dowed to us by our Creator. \If God is for us who can be against us?\ I believe if we are keeping and obeying God's laws we are the nation we were intended to be. I believe that God is the God of life. If you do, also, join me in a \pur- suit of happiness\ in Baker, Montana. Let's make a differ- ence for those who can't make one for themselves.
