I received this email recently. Please try to attend if you can!John-PaulWhat: Pro-life Young Adult Rally and ProtestWhere: Planned Parenthood in Aurora, ILWhen: Sat, Sept.1 at 1PMWho: All students and faculty from the surrounding colleges anduniversitiesWhy: To save babies and to stand up for all the youth that will beeffected by the presence of the new clinic.Dear students, faculty, friends, and ministers,Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Greg Guest, and I am astudent at Lewis University in Romeoville, IL, and an active participantin the Chicago area pro-life movement. As many of you already know, ThePlanned Parenthood Foundation of America has recently built a facilityin Aurora, IL, the latest of their now 11 Chicago area facilities. Theyhave already made it quite clear that this facility will be 'full-serve'and will be performing abortions. Many in the pro-life movement havealready risen to the challenge of keeping vigil outside of the facilitybefore it's opening day on September 18. (http://www.familiesagainstplannedparenthood.org/ ) There have beenseveral large protests, and one that we are currently planning with thelimited amount of time that we have is our Youth for Truth Pro-lifeRally. This will take place on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 1PM. We will bemeeting outside the Planned Parenthood as well as the surroundingstreets in the local neighborhood to make our voices known. As of nowwe are expecting approximately 300-400 youth and young adults. I am ofcourse contacting you the members of our local colleges anduniverisities, that your schools and communities may be represented aswe peacefully express our disapproval and disgust at the presence ofthis new facility. We are planning to have several speakers to lead therally, as well as perhaps bringing in some music to further bring therally together. But overall, we are intending to hold a true,down-to-earth, grass-roots protest and vigil, so that the community, aswell as Planned Parenthood Chicago, might see that we as the youngadults of the area do not approve of their presence in our community.Anyone who shows up will receive a free Youth for Truth t-shirt as wellas water and a shuttle service being provided. The address of thePlanned Parenthood, which has been recently changed due totechnicalities regarding the positioning of the building, is 3051 E. NewYork St. Aurorahttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=N+Oakhurst+Dr,+Aurora,+DuPage,+Illinois+60504,+United+States&sll=41.759539,-88.336123&sspn=0.01106,0.020084&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1Parking will be at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church on Eola Road,approximately a mile south of New York St. (701 S. Eola Rd.)Please contact me with any questions, concerns, and suggestions. Asthe college and university representative for the event, I will be morethan glad to assist in any way I can. I must apologize for the shortnotice. As you can see, we're are trying to pull this together ratherquickly, so even the smallest of numbers attending from any of thecampuses around the area would be excellent.Sincerely,Greg Guestgguest724@yahoo.comwww.myspace.com/crownandnails
