Dear John,
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>According to figures from the World Health Organization (WHO), between 40 and 56 million abortions are performed every year.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>153,425 per day.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>6,393 per hour.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Since you started reading this email, nearly 107 abortions have taken place.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>107 per minute.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>107 human beings like you and me, only smaller.</strong></span></p> <p><strong>They are not statistics.</strong></p> <p>They are people... people who would have been called David, Emma, Olivia, Noah, William, Daniel, Sophia, Sam, Elizabeth, James...</p> <p><strong>Abortion is the cruel and violent death of a human being.</strong><span> </span>We cannot forget that. We cannot simply get used to it and do nothing in the face of the suffering of others.</p> <p>We must act. Because these babies—Michael, Chloe, Joseph....—die before they are even born. They need someone to defend them. They need us to do something.</p> <p><strong>We have to be the voice for those who don't have one!</strong></p> <p>That's why I need your help.</p> <p>In the coming days and weeks, CitizenGO will be actively participating in marches, demonstrations, and rallies in order to defend life. CitizenGOers are organizing in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Italy, Slovakia... and across the world, wherever it is necessary—if we can find enough resources to act.</p> <p>Next month, from March 9th to the 20th, we will be attending the United Nations Conference on the Status of Women (CSW64) in New York, where we know the pro-abortion lobby will try (again) to use the UN to impose abortion worldwide. We are in close contact with the diplomats of many countries so that the enemies of life fail. We are also planning some kind of impactful action close to the UN Headquarters. </p> <p>Here in the United States, we are campaigning to support the unborn. President Donald J. Trump is challenging Congress to end late-term abortion. So are we! We feel that we are so close and we need to keep the pressure on!</p> <p>We are also providing support to our Canadian counterparts, we will assemble for their March for Life in Ottawa. We are hoping for a big turnout among Canadian CitizenGOers! </p> <p><strong>We need to stop this silent mass murder that is abortion.</strong><span> </span>It seems like a big task, but each of us—in small ways, working together—can accomplish it.</p> <p>I need your help to defend life and to organize and carry out the actions we are planning.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dear friend, can you make a contribution of $15, $35, $50, or more to defend the life of every human being—from conception—all over the world?</strong></p>

OTHER AMOUNT <[link removed]>
<p>Abortion is the cruel and violent death of a human being. And it's CitizenGO's mission to defend life—from conception to natural death.</p> <p>This is why we want to carry out campaigns and demonstrations in the places I mentioned earlier, to maximize the effect of our pro-life lobbying campaigns in State Houses across the country, to continue confronting legislators and heads of states, and to make a strong case for life before international bodies such as the UN, EU, Organization of American States, African Union, and the World Health Organization.</p> <p>We need to be there, <strong>lending a voice to those who don't have one,</strong> in meetings, headquarters, and commissions... in the centers of power where decisions are made, legislation is passed, and financing is agreed upon that can mean life or death for Lucy, Daniel, Alexander, Mary...</p> <p><strong>We need to be there in order to defend the right to life from conception.</strong></p> <p>We can only do this if we can count on your support to help with the necessary resources:</p>

OTHER AMOUNT <[link removed]>
<p>As you know, we don't receive any financial support, grants or other funds from governments or corporations (nor do we want their support). We don't have a large corporation behind us. <strong>We only have you</strong> to finance our projects.</p> <p>That is why I am writing to you asking for help.</p> <p>One day, I pray that abortion will be no more than a memory. One day, those terrible figures with which I started this email will be a horror of the past.</p> <p>We do our work in this hope. If you are a believer, please pray with me to end abortion. And let God use you to accomplish that purpose.</p> <p>Thanks to your support, we'll continue working and continue making this world a better place for you, for me, for our children and grandchildren... and for all the children:</p>
