Sent by memo from the Second Floor State House lobby to the Senate chamber:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SENATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
"Please sign on as a co-sponsor of S.111, the RTL Act of SC before sine die on June 2d."
DATE: 6/1/05

MESSAGE: Will God Bless or Curse S.C. over the next several months?
1) Three other states also have principled "no exceptions" ban-abortion bills in their state legislatures. You men have the opportunity before you of making history for good by passing the RTL Act of SC, & helping SC lead the nation in ending this 32+ year national tragedy + disgrace of "legalized" abortion.
2) Or, as the 2005 hurricane season begins today, & and The State reported $ 110 million in damage to SC in 2004, how will God deal with us in 2005 ?
