This Friday, January 25, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers will descend on Washington, DC for the 40th annual March for Life.
If you’re one of them, you’re invited to march along with Stand Up Rally co-directors Monica Miller of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society and Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League—along with a host of other Rally captains from across the country—under a huge “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” banner.
Meet at 1:00 p.m. at the southeast corner of Madison Drive NW and 7th Street NW [map].
See you there!

The Del Rio, Texas, Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally was held on Friday October 19 at 5:00 p.m. at Val Verde County Court House. The date had to be moved up a day due to Del Rio’s Amistad (Friendship) Parade. Del Rio Texas is a border town and it has been a tradition to celebrate this parade with Acuña Coahuila Mexico, our sister city.
Guest speakers were Father Henry Clay Hunt, pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church and Mr. Gene Chapman, former chairman of the local Republican party. Our emcee was Lucy Van Goethem. Letty Escobar lead the Pledge Allegiance and Father Pious, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, lead the closing prayer.
Most of our rally team participated in the Amistad parade the next day, carrying our Stand Up for Religious Freedom Signs to represent the churches of Del Rio.
This was our third Stand Up Rally and we are very proud to stand up for religious freedom.

“Obey Mandate or Scripture” is an educational publication with several in-depth articles that explore numerous concerns prompted by the HHS Mandate.
Articles include:
- “Render to Caesar Revisited” by Archbishop Charles Chaput
- “Stop the New Attack on Conscience Rights” by Richard Doerflinger

“Obey Mandate or Scripture” is available here. Get your copy today!

We’re in the final push to publicize Friday’s Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally in over 150 cities nationwide, and we’re asking for your help.
Call your favorite national talk show host — Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, whoever — and tell them about Friday’s Stand Up Rally.
Even a brief mention of the Rallies on one of those big, national programs would be a great boon.
These talk show hosts are pounded with info every day about topics they could cover. We have to help them see how important Friday’s Stand Up Rally is by contacting them today.
Please make that call today — and back it up with an email. If your favorite host is active on Twitter, reach out there, too.
And then please call, email, and tweet again tomorrow.
These shows have HUGE reach and could bring thousands more out to the Rally — and inspire better media coverage overall. But we need to FLOOD them with calls these next two days.
Here are the numbers for some of the big-name talk show hosts for you to call:

We’ve received numerous requests the past few days from people across the country asking if they can get “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” buttons.
The answer is yes.

Last week hackers attacked the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally website as well as all the websites hosted by the Pro-Life Action League, one of the co-sponsors of the Rally effort.
Working overtime through the weekend, the Stand Up Rally IT team was able to locate and eradicate the source of the problem and restore security to the sites.
The attack couldn’t have come at a worse time as thousands were trying to access information about Rally news and locations and Rally Captains were trying to access crucial resources for planning and promoting the effort.
But all is well now and the effort will carry on undaunted. If anyone you know was disquieted by anti-virus software warnings or other error messages, please let them know that the problem has been solved and the site is now secure. And say some prayers for the protection of the Rally effort going forward.
This problem may have slowed us down, but it will not stop the Stand Up Campaign. We will stand up for our cherished liberties and we will fight to Stop the HHS Mandate!
