NHRTL-PAC Announces
2000 Primary Endorsements

The NHRTL Political Action Committee today announces endorsements
for selected state races.   "A resurgence of genuine pro-life candidates this
year reflects a renewed commitment of pro-life voters to get involved and
compel changes," said NHRTL-PAC Chairman Ed Holdgate.   "Pro-life
voters perceive the difference between candidates who merely articulate
a lukewarm pro-life message, and those who tenaciously defend respect
for human life at every opportunity."

The NHRTL-PAC confidently endorses  GORDON HUMPHREY  for
governor.   "Gordon Humphrey blazed a pro-life trail throughout New
Hampshire, and even into Washington, proving the intrinsically successful
message of the genuine, principled, 100% pro-life position," said Holdgate.
"Humphrey maintains an earnest and focused pro-life agenda, sustained
by written commitments -- just the ticket needed to prevail over the
ravenously pro-abortion pursuits of Gov. Jeanne Shaheen."

"Jeff Howard merely professes a pro-life attitude.   Despite some 20 years
in law and civil service, Howard cannot point to any pro-life actions.   Howard
cannot recall ever testifying on abortion related legislation, ever getting
involved with a pro-life event or organization, ever helping a Crisis Pregnancy
Center, ever delivering a pro-life speech, or ever even writing a single pro-life
letter to the editor.   Where's the "pro" in that kind of hollow pro-life
profession?", asked Holdgate.

The NHRTL-PAC, using voting records, survey returns, news reports, and
some interviews, endorses the following candidates because of their pro-life
activism, commitment, and credentials:

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL:
Dist 2   HARRIET CADY
Dist 4   TOM COLANTUONO
Dist 5   DAVID WHEELER

NH SENATE:
Dist 3   CARL JOHNSON
Dist 4   ROBERT BOYCE
Dist 9   SHEILA ROBERGE
Dist 11   GARY DANIELS
Dist 14   GARY FRANCOEUR
Dist 17   JACK BARNES
Dist 18   WILL INFANTINE
Dist 19   RUSS PRESCOTT
Dist 20   BRUCE HUNTER
Dist 21   AMOS TOWNSEND
