During the last ten-plus years, I have had the privilege of working closely with two giants in public advocacy. One is Ralph Nader, with whom I co-authored four books. The other is Rita Marker, the head of the International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. Indeed, the powerful impact of Rita’s book Deadly Compassion compelled me to begin my anti-euthanasia work.
In recent days, Rita has published two superb articles. The first, published in the San Francisco Chronicle, points out some of the many flaws of California Assembly Bill A.B. 654, the assisted suicide legalization bill that recently passed out of the Judiciary Committee. The second, dealing with advance directives, was published on National Review Online. Both are worth the read.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
