Associate Justice of the Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito (C) along with his wife and children view the casket containing the body of civil rights activist Rosa Parks while it lays in honor inside the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, October 31, 2005.

Is Samuel Alito a STEALTH Candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court who closely guards or hides his views on abortion?

Alito’s politically conservative views were not in dispute. “Of course he’s against abortion,” his 90-year-old mother Rose told reporters at her home in Hamilton, N.J. The Drudge Report link is here.

Flap supposes NOT.

On Tuesday, November 1, MAY and Mobilize.org are continuing their “What Are YOUR Boundaries?” RV Tour in support of Proposition 77, the California Redistricting Initiative at the University of Southern California. The news conference and rally will happen at noon.

Previously on Flap, Proposition 77 Watch: What Are Your Boundaries? Mobilizing America’s Youth.

The Mobilize.org RV Tour has one major purpose and one major goal. The purpose is to educate, empower, and energize young people throughout the state for the upcoming special election, and our goal is to pass the Voter Empowerment Act – Proposition 77. The RV tour is historic and the first of its kind as no other independent organization has hosted such an event exclusively devoted to a single proposition.

Mobilize.org believes that redistricting is the best way to end the political deadlock in California. We have built a strong coalition of support to help us get that message to America’s youth.

The What Are Your Boundaries Blog is here.

So, tomorrow head over to Tommy Trojan and check out the Mobilize.org RV and rally in support of Proposition 77.

Flap knows you will be glad you did.

The Sacramento Bee has Abortion measure could be pivotal.

Forces for and against are using Prop. 73 to galvanize their base on the governor’s initiatives.

The California Catholic Conference prepared a series of homilies for priests to mark October as “Respect Life” month and to use as a countdown to the Nov. 8 special election.

The sermons make references to Proposition 73, an initiative that would require parental notification before doctors can perform abortions on girls under 18.

“Proposition 73 is family-oriented, pro-life and promotes the culture of life,” wrote Father Richard Benson, academic dean and moral theology chairman for St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, in his suggested “homily notes” for priests delivering Mass. “It closes the secret access to abortion.”

The talking point homilies are among numerous get-out-the-vote efforts in support of or against the parental notification initiative.

Proposition 73 was in the planning long before Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his special election agenda. But as churches, women’s groups and others rally forces to vote on the initiative, the turnout for Proposition 73 is viewed as a factor in how other special election measures may fare.

On one side, the Traditional Values Coalition is printing 100,000 slate mailers for evangelical churches, declaring: “We must not let Planned Parenthood and their baby-killing allies dominate at the polls.”

And Benjamin Lopez, a coalition lobbyist, said the slate mailers will also urge Christian conservatives to vote “yes” on the governor’s special election agenda, comprising Propositions 74, 75, 76 and 77. The measures would extend the time it takes teachers to earn tenure, require public employee labor unions to get members’ permission before spending dues on political campaigns, give the governor broad powers to make budget cuts and change how legislative districts are drawn.

“We need to get our base motivated about 73 and that, hopefully, will have a coattail effect with the other measures,” Lopez said

With a week to go before the California Special Election it is ALL about turning out your voter BASE.

Will Pro-Life voters deliver proposition victories for Governor Schwarzenegger?

Stay tuned…….

On July 30, 2004, Diana Lopez received a call from her daughter’s middle school, informing her that her 13-year-daughter hadbeen taken to the hospital because she was bleeding. By the time Diana found out where her daughter had actually been taken, a Planned Parenthood abortion center, her young daughter was already undergoing an abortion — orchestrated by her boyfriend’s mother and Planned Parenthood staff. Diana had not known that her daughter was pregnant or contemplating an abortion. Had Diana known of her daughter’s pregnancy, she would have encouraged and assisted her to have her baby rather than undergo a secret abortion.

Flap supports Proposition 73, the Parents Right To Know initiative. and urges its passage at the California Special Election, November 8th.

From Real Clear Politics:
