NRL - the United States Navy's defense laboratory that conducts basic and applied research for the Navy in a variety of scientific and technical disciplinesNaval Research Laboratory Educational Trust Fund has participated in the CFC CFC See: Controlled foreign corporation (Combined Federal Campaign The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is a program allowing certain charitable organizations to solicit contributions from employees of the Federal Government of the United States. ) as well as state, local, and a few private-sector campaigns, making important pro-life educational programs around the nation possible. The CFC takes place around the country primarily on military bases and is operated by the Office of Personnel Management. Nearly half the states also run employee campaigns (see below), and are coordinated in the governor's or the Secretary of State's office. Private-sector campaigns like the one at IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) (agency #OL5O8) have included the NRL Educational Trust Fund in their workplace campaign drives this year. Because of the generous contributions from these workplace campaigns to the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund each fall, NRL is delighted to be able to share the proceeds with its state affiliate groups so they can further educate their communities. And educate they do! Brian Johnston, executive director of the California ProLife Council California ProLife Council is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian grassroots organization dedicated to the ending and opposing of abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, and infanticide. , said his organization is "actively educating California citizens through county and regional fair booths, literature distribution, and local speakers' bureaus. California ProLife has also recently sponsored a media outreach project which includes video presentations for church and community groups and through cable access channels, as well as purchasing air time for high-quality 60-second television spots." Right to Life of Michigan's Amanda Peterman Pe´ter`man n. 1. A fisherman; - so called after the apostle Peter. offers that "just one way we use CFC funds [is through] our Media Campaign program [which] strives to offer assistance to women and men in crisis pregnancy and post-abortive situations, continually improve the image of our organization and spread a positive prolife message in the most efficient, cost effective way possible." Karen Cross of West Virginians for Life Educational Trust Fund expressed her "thanks... for your work with the Combined Federal Campaign! [CFC] funds received by the West Virginians for Life Educational Trust Fund have enabled us to purchase pro-life videos and materials for use in schools and churches." Mrs. Cross added, "Teens are especially interested in the 10 week unborn feet pins we provided for the health classes. During these difficult economic times, the additional money has been a tremendous blessing to our educational efforts." Federal, state, local, and even some private sector employees have an opportunity right now--this fall--to help keep these wonderful pro-life activities flourishing. Your donations directly educate the public on crucial life issues including abortion, infanticide infanticide (ĭnfăn`təsīd) [Lat.,=child murder], the putting to death of the newborn with the consent of the parent, family, or community. Infanticide often occurs among peoples whose food supply is insecure (e.g. , and euthanasia. The fact that the number of abortions has seriously declined in recent years is testimony to the truth that minds are being reached and hearts softened.
