At this critical time, let us not grow weary nor complacent.  We at CBR will be doing everything we can to put abortion on the agenda again this election year.  We will be focusing our truth trucks and our Pro Life on Campus exhibit on key election states and districts where pro-life candidates will be running against pro-abortion candidates.  Please help us as generously as you can!
