TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR
              PRO-LIFE AND FAMILY VOTERS

• Promote
  and defend Life conception up to natural death. You shall not have
  false values that degrade the dignity of life and the welfare of the
  family, the basic unit of society.

• You
  shall not compromise your pro-life and pro-family principles in your
  dialogue with and in selecting candidates. You shall not bow down to
  immoral, corrupt and inept candidates and vote them to office. Our
  life, our family and our country are too precious to be entrusted to
  such people.

• You
  shall not take your vote in vain. You shall not sell it for a price or
  for money. You shall not vote without scrutinizing the candidate’s
  track record both in public and private life.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that are in favor of legalizing absolute
  divorce and are themselves not faithful to their own marriage and
  family.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that are for legalization of euthanasia
  or mercy killing and are not caring for the older persons and the sick.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that are for legalization of abortion and
  any form of abortifacients. You shall not vote for candidates that
  advocate for reproductive rights and support contraceptive use and
  sterilization as a means for population control.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that promote sex education that is
  focused on contraceptive use and emphasize “safe sex’ rather than moral
  values and developing virtues.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that advocate same-sex unions and the
  legalization of same-sex marriage in the guise of anti-discrimination.

• You
  shall not vote candidates that sell our country’s future to foreign and
  elite interest, concerned with their vested interest to the destruction
  of our environment and natural resources, and disregard the plight of
  the poor.

• You
  shall not vote for candidates that are corrupt, steal from the
  government, that are insensitive to our people’s demand and opinion;
  that are undemocratic, unjust and unpatriotic in their governance and
  programs. True development is the upliftment of the lives of the least
  of our brethren and the enjoyment of justice, freedom and peace.
