SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following text is of an open letter to the Honorable Nancy Pelosi from Walk for Life co-founder, Dolores Meehan:

January 17, 2007

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi

Speaker of the House of Representatives

450 Golden Gate Avenue, 14th Floor

San Francisco, CA 94102

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

Thousands of Pro-Woman/Pro-Life supporters will gather in San Francisco on Saturday, January 20, 2007 for the Third Annual Walk for Life West Coast.  An estimated 15,000 people participated in the Walk for Life last year, and this weekend, we expect more than 20,000 people.  Our goal is to reach out to women and men of all political persuasions with the message that abortion hurts women, and that Life is the best choice.  This is a peaceful walk, a celebration of women and a celebration of life.

Our organization would like to meet with you prior to Saturday’s Walk. This is a growing and prominent movement in San Francisco.  Since this is your district, and we are your constituents, we hope you will find it important enough to meet with us, and get to know us. 

As Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, you are the highest-ranking woman ever elected in the history of the United States.  As such, your responsibility to serve as a role model for all women in America is greater than ever, not just in San Francisco, but across our entire nation. 

Sincerely,

Dolores Meehan

Co-Founder, Walk for Life
