NORTHERN KENTUCKY RIGHT TO LIFE 2010 ELECTION CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE

Pursuant to our long-standing policy of bringing to the public the views (and records) of candidates for public office, on these crucial "Life" issues, NKRTL sent questionnaires to candidates seeking office in the primary election of May 18, 2010 . After furnishing them detailed information concerning the issues, NKRTL advised them that their response (or the fact of their non-response, which could only be interpreted as unfavorable in that they either oppose its positions or are disinterested in these vital issues) would be published. All need to consider the following three realities: Q: HOW IS THE KILLING MACHINE KEPT IN PLACE? ANSWER : BY LAWS. Q: WHO KEEPS THOSE KILLING LAWS IN PLACE? ANSWER : PUBLIC OFFICIALS, ELECTED AND APPOINTED. Q: HOW THEN CAN ONE, WHO PUTS IN OFFICE OFFICIALS WHO KEEP THE KILLING GOING, CLAIM TO BE PRO-LIFE? ANSWER : THEY CAN’T. ACTIONS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES! WHAT WE DO IS A BETTER GUIDE TO WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE THAN WHAT WE SAY!

1. Will you actively support (and if in a position to do so, sponsor and vote for) a mandatory Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and to the Kentucky Constitution, which would codify the personhood of an unborn child from the moment of fertilization, and which would hold that all innocent human beings have the same right to life, from fertilization until natural death?

2. Will you actively support (and if in a position to do so, sponsor and vote for) legislation which will make it a criminal offense to perform, to assist with, or to pay for an abortion on another (such legislation would not prohibit those necessary medical procedures required to prevent the death of the mother who is suffering from a physical pathology such as ectopic pregnancy or cancerous uterus)?

3. Will you actively support (and if in a position to do so, sponsor and vote for) legislation preventing: (a) the use of tissue and organs from deliberately aborted children; (b) the use or destruction of live embryos for the purpose of extracting stem cells, for transplants or medical experimentations; (c) human cloning, whether for the purpose of development and bringing to full term a new human being, or for the purpose of development of a new human being for experimentation, or for the purpose of obtaining body parts or stem cells; and (d) the public funding of any of these activities?

4. Will you actively oppose (and if in a position to do so, work against and vote against) legislation mandating health insurance coverage of abortion (both surgical and chemical) and contraception?

5. Will you actively oppose (and if in a position to do so, work against and vote against) any legislation which would allow the withdrawal from an infant, incompetent, or comatose person of food and water, regardless of how the food or water is provided (except in the case where death is imminent and the patient cannot assimilate food or water)?

6. Will you actively oppose (and if in a position to do so, vote against) any legislation, administrative regulations, or initiatives of any type, which would decriminalize assisting or abetting someone in killing themselves (often referred to as “assisted suicide”)?

7. Will you actively support (and if in a position to do so, sponsor and vote for) legislation requiring that the same medical treatment and the same standard of medical care be provided handicapped persons, and that the decisions of whether to treat a handicapped person must be made on strictly medical grounds and not on speculations about the person's future "quality of life"?

8. Will you actively support (and if in a position to do so, sponsor and vote for) legislation which prohibits all use of local, state, federal, and/or Medicare or Medicaid funds for abortion (including chemical abortions, such as RU-486, or the so-called “morning- after pill,” Norplant, Depo Provera, or the so-called “standard birth control pill”)?

9. If there should come before you the question of appointment or confirmation of an individual to any board, agency, committee, etc., which does or could perform, counsel, refer, or fund abortion (including chemical abortions, such as RU-486, and the so- called “morning-after pill,” Norplant, Depo Provera, and the so-called “standard birth control pill”), will you nominate or confirm only individuals (1) who refuse to perform, counsel, refer, or fund any surgical or chemical abortion and (2) who refuse to support, vote for, or fund any government or private agency that would perform, counsel, refer, or fund any surgical or chemical abortion?

10. If you become involved in the legislative process, would you take the initiative to compel a recorded vote on all Pro-Life legislation, whether by discharge petition or whatever other parliamentary practice is available?

11. Will you refuse to support in any manner a candidate for any public office, who publicly states acceptance of the current status of legalized abortion, or who fails to disclose his position on the issue of abortion, or who has, as a public official, a record of support for abortion or of failing to oppose it, or who supports any of the above anti-life activities?

4 NKRTL-PAC POLICY REGARDING ENDORSEMENTS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS

The longstanding policy of NKRTL-PAC regarding candidates for public office is clear, and consistent: 1. We send to each candidate a list of questions comprehensively covering the core sanctity of all innocent human life issues, with a detailed explanatory cover letter, explaining NKRTL’s position regarding each issue, and the reasons and authoritative citations for such positions. 2. We explain that we will faithfully publish the candidate’s responses, or non-responses, reserving the right to make an endorsement, or recommendation, or take no formal action at all. 3. We advise the candidates that a non-response can only be interpreted as unfavorable in that they either oppose the Pro-Life positions, or are disinterested in these vital issues. 4. We publish as much as we know about the public record and statements of the candidates on these vital issues. 5. We never endorse a candidate unless his or her answers are 100 percent Pro-Life. 6. We sometimes make a recommendation of a candidate, after a full disclosure of his positions, if his responses are not 100 percent Pro-Life but stand him materially above the other candidates who have answered the questionnaire. Based upon these criteria, NKRTL-PAC publishes its conclusions and comments regarding the candidates in this May 18, 2010, primary election in Kentucky. Northern Kentucky Right to Life Political Action Committee has issued Endorsements and/or Recommendations of some candidates in the upcoming primary election of May 18, 2010. These are based not only on the stated public positions of the candidates, including their answers to NKRTL’s questionnaire, but also their past public records: Based upon the firm belief that what one has done is entitled to significantly more consideration than what one says (“By their fruits, ye shall know them ...” Matthew 7:16), NKRTL undertakes herein to publish what it knows of the public record of these candidates, whether they are incumbents or those seeking office for the first time. The gravity of the surgical slaughter of 4,400 innocent children each day – one every 20 seconds – and the even greater number of chemical abortions -- demands that we ask of every citizen, particularly those aspiring to public office: “What are you doing to stop the killing?” If a candidate supported terrorism, would you bother to ask him where he stands on other issues??? NKRTL-PAC does not necessarily make Endorsements and/or Recommendations in every race . NKRTL must point out to the reader that some candidates take it upon themselves to modify our questions, thereby failing to answer them specifically, and indeed making exceptions of their own, while simultaneously attempting to answer “yes,” to attempt to present a Pro-Life position. Since the candidate has not answered “no,” and their response cannot be truly reported as “yes” after they have modified or imposed conditions of their own, NKRTL has appropriately reported those evasive answers with an asterisk (*). Some other candidates decline to answer the questions, instead making a narrative response, which in fact evades answers to specific, clear questions. These questions have been carefully formulated over 30 years of serious study and are clearly capable of a “Yes” or “No” answer, rather than evasive and non-responsive ramblings which deprive the voter of information regarding the candidate’s exact position on specific issues.

U.S. SENATE NKRTL-PAC endorses in the Democratic primary race James Buckmaster, M.D. (D) , based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire. Based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, NKRTL-PAC endorses in the Republican primary Rand Paul, M.D. (R) . Because there have been published certain allegations by his opponent Mr. Grayson, challenging the commitment of Dr. Paul to clear principles of the Right to Life movement, NKRTL's Executive Committee, President Robert C. Cetrulo, Vice President Fred H. Summe, and Dr. Arthur M. Kunath , conducted a lengthy personal interview with Dr. Paul regarding these issues. While Dr. Paul is open to all avenues of redress against the horror of abortion, including state legislation, federal legislation, and judicial appeals, he is committed, without qualification, to support a mandatory personhood human life amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which would establish the unborn child as a person entitled to constitutional protection of the right to life. He is likewise committed to opposition, without exception, of any public funding of chemical abortifacients, however described, and to any legislation which would mandate health insurance coverage of either surgical or chemical abortion as well as contraception. John Stephenson (R) made 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but has been found to have made past political donations to pro-abortion candidates. The importance of this particular race is magnified because its winner will replace Senator Jim Bunning (R) of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, who never wavered in his Pro-Life voting commitment during 12 years in the U.S. Senate and multiple terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the Kentucky State Senate. He will be missed, as he retires from elected office.

U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U.S. REPRESENTATIVE - 4 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent Congressman Geoff Davis (R) , based not only upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon his 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in Congress.

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE - 6 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses in the Republican primary Perry Wilson Barnes (R) , John T. Kemper III (R) , Matt Lockett (R) , and George Pendergrass (R) , based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

STATE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE SENATOR - 24 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent State Senator Katie Kratz Stine (R) for reelection to the State Senate, based not only upon her 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon her 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature. STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 60 th DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses for reelection incumbent State Representative Sal Santoro (R) , based not only upon his Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire, but also upon his 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 62 nd DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses both Ricky Hostetler (R) and Ryan Quarles (R) in their primary election, based upon their Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 63 rd DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent State Representative Alecia Webb-Edgington (R) , based not only upon her Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire, but also upon her 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 64 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent State Representative Thomas Robert Kerr (R ), based not only upon his 100 percent Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire, but also upon his 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 66 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent State Representative Addia Kathryn Wuchner (R) , based not only upon her Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire, but also upon her 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 68 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent State Representative Joseph M. Fischer (R) , based not only upon his Pro-Life responses to the questionnaire, but also upon his 100 percent Pro-Life voting record in the state legislature.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 69 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses Brett Gaspard (R) for election in his primary race, based not only upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon a long and active record of activity in the Pro-Life movement. We would be remiss also if we did not point out that his opponent, Rep. Adam Koenig (R) , the incumbent, broke his promise made to us on questionnaires that he would not support chemical abortion, and then did so as a member of the Kenton County Fiscal Court, and also went back on his word to give us a hearing before the Fiscal Court, and arbitrarily canceled the hearing, with no notice to NKRTL. Mr. Koenig’s record is therefore not only one of pro-abortion, but also one of unreliability in terms of his word.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - 78 TH DISTRICT NKRTL-PAC endorses Timothy A. Fairfield (R) for election in his primary race, based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

BOONE COUNTY COUNTY JUDGE-EXECUTIVE NKRTL-PAC endorses both Boone County Commissioner Cathy Hudson Flaig (R) and Boone County Judge-Executive Gary W. Moore (R) , based not only upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon their long and consistent Pro-Life record in public office.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #1 NKRTL-PAC endorses both Matthew Joseph Dedden (R) and Steve Smith (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #2 While both candidates have made 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, Charles Kenner (R) earns the endorsement of NKRTL-PAC based upon his longstanding record of Pro-Life activities.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #3 NKRTL-PAC endorses both Terri Moore (R) and Charlie Walton (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire. COUNTY SHERIFF NKRTL-PAC endorses both Michael A. Helmig (R) and Michael Steward (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

COUNTY CLERK NKRTL-PAC endorses both Kenny Brown (R) and Justin Crigler (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

COUNTY PROPERTY VALUATION ADMINISTRATOR NKRTL-PAC endorses both Kenneth R. Hall (R) and Cindy Arlinghaus Rich (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire. 6 CAMPBELL COUNTY COUNTY JUDGE-EXECUTIVE NKRTL-PAC endorses Kevin Sell (R) in his primary election, based not only upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon the strong pro-abortion record of his opponent, Steve Pendery (R) , who regularly supports for election pro-abortion candidates, and in addition was an outspoken supporter of chemical abortion, as a member of the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department Board of Directors.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #1 NKRTL-PAC endorses Brian D. Painter (R) in his primary election, based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #2 NKRTL-PAC endorses Pete Garrett (R) in his primary election, based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

CIRCUIT COURT CLERK NKRTL-PAC endorses both Timothy J. Fischer (R) and Taunya Nolan Jack (R) in their primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

COUNTY JAILER NKRTL-PAC endorses both Greg L. Buckler (D) and James T. “Tom” Sparks (R) in their respective primary election, based upon their 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

KENTON COUNTY

COUNTY JUDGE-EXECUTIVE While Steve Arlinghaus (R) and Scott Kimmich (R) had a somewhat checkered history on the Pro-Life issues several years ago, Arlinghaus has publicly acknowledged his errors, and has committed to a total Pro-Life position in his questionnaire. Dan Moening (R) also gave 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire. In light of Mr. Arlinghaus reinforcing his stated position with his Pro-Life activities over the many years, including membership in NKRTL, financial support, and attendance at NKRTL functions, NKRTL-PAC endorses Steve Arlinghaus (R) .

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT #2 NKRTL-PAC endorses Jon E. Draud (R) . His answers to the questionnaire were not only 100 percent Pro-Life, but he has a strong and long Pro-Life voting record during his service as a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. The only other candidate who also answered the questionnaire with 100 percent Pro-Life answers is Pat Von Lehman Dressman (R) . Unfortunately, her answers are contradicted by her record. While she answers that she will oppose chemical abortion, she was one of NKRTL’s strongest opponents when it fought the chemical abortion fight at the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department Board, and she was then a social worker employee under pro-abort Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery , who named her to the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department Board.

COUNTY ATTORNEY NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent County Attorney Garry Edmondson (R) in his primary election, based not only upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, but also upon his long activity as a member of NKRTL, attending its functions, as well as actively advancing its policies with the county attorneys’ association of the State of Kentucky, and indeed siding with NKRTL in its fight to condemn chemical abortifacients at the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department Board, even though the then-county judge and fiscal court members were on the other side.

COUNTY SHERIFF NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent Sheriff Chuck L. Korzenborn (R) , who has been a longtime active member of NKRTL and has candidly stood up publicly in support of the defense of innocent human life.

COUNTY CLERK Although both Republican candidates have responded with 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire, NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent County Clerk Rodney E. Eldridge (R) , in light of his public participation in NKRTL functions, his membership in NKRTL, his financial support, his participation in NKRTL's Annual March for Life ad, and his support and attendance at NKRTL's Annual Celebration of Life.

COUNTY JAILER NKRTL-PAC endorses incumbent jailer Terry Carl (R) , based upon his 100 percent Pro-Life answers to the questionnaire.

7 JUDGESHIPS NKRTL has declined to send its questionnaire to candidates for judicial office because of rulings of the Kentucky State Bar Association prohibiting such candidates from making announcements which might indicate how they might rule on specific cases of litigation brought before them. However, their past public records are fair areas of commentary, and so NKRTL has sent an inquiry to these candidates inquiring as to any record they might have in terms of specific defense of innocent human life, and invited their responses.

BOONE COUNTY DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, 54 TH DISTRICT, 1 ST DIVISION Rick A. Brueggemann - Response received Jeff Smith - Response received Stephen P. Huddleston - Response received Marcia L. Thomas - No response received Keith A. McMain - No response received

NKRTL-PAC endorses Rick A. Brueggemann , based upon a long and strong and documented record of Pro-Life activities, including membership in NKRTL, support of NKRTL’s annual ad standing up for life, attendance at Celebration of Life, lobbying for Pro-Life legislation, and placing a Pro-Life billboard on I-71.

CAMPBELL FAMILY COURT JUDGE, 17 TH DISTRICT, 3 RD DIVISION Gayle Hoffman - No response received James Kidney - Response received Richard A. Woeste - Response received

NKRTL-PAC endorses Richard A. Woeste , based upon a long and consistent dedicated record of support of Pro-Life activities, including support of NKRTL’s annual ad, and in addition Mr. Woeste’s volunteered legal talents in Pro-Life litigation in which NKRTL has been involved, as well as his attendance, together with his family, at many of the national Marches for Life in Washington, D.C., which march takes place each January, and his attendance regularly at NKRTL’s Annual Celebration of Life programs.
