BY LifeSiteNews.com By Tim WaggonerOTTAWA, October 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In light of the upcoming Canadian federal election, Natale Gallo, the President of the Canadian Association of Knights of Columbus, and Yvon Robert, the State Deputy for Ontario, have sent a letter to the 230,000 members of the KofC affirming the need to cast a vote that will "build a Culture of Life."After addressing the moral obligation of citizens to promote the common good by means of their right to vote, Gallo and Robert said that the most important piece of information to know about a political candidate is "where they stand on life.""Political leaders must be encouraged to serve the common good by crafting legislation that supports and defends life from conception to natural death," said the two men.Gallo and Roberts confirmed that the promotion of the Culture of Life has always been at the "core" of the KOC’s "mission" and noted how this was reaffirmed in August’s Supreme Convention in Quebec City, where resolutions were passed "supporting the traditional definition of marriage" and opposing "abortion, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and euthanasia."The two knights also described the process of "building a Culture of Life" as "being concerned about the most vulnerable members of our society - the unborn, the disabled and the elderly … and defending the authentic nature of marriage and family."There was a sense of urgency in the letter regarding the importance of the October 14 election, when Canadians will have an opportunity to support pro-life political candidates.  "The political choices we make today will have a profound impact on the character of our nation and the future we will pass on to our children," they said. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/knights-of-columbus-to-230000-canadian-members-pro-life-is-the-most-importa/
