CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 20, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- As CRTL approaches the 5th annual "Bringing America Back to Life" Symposium on March 7 and 8
in Cleveland, all indications are that what has been the premier
pro-life meeting in the country will continue as such. Cleveland Right
to Life President Molly Smith notes, "The choir is singing with more
confidence and attracting new members."
In
2013 CRTL donations saw a 79% increase and new donor giving is up by
57%. "We have more contributions, more exhibitors and more table
reservations for our 2014 Symposium than we have ever had before at
this time". Smith continued, "We have an outstanding schedule of speakers and a number of political figures from around the state will attend."
The
Symposium was established to educate pro-life supporters and to
encourage them in their important work in the field. In 2013 the event
sold out establishing the fact that the CRTL is achieving this goal.
Jerry
Cirino CRTL Chairman noted that in spite of dire predictions for the
organizations future after they improved their focus to include support
for traditional marriage, their donations for 2013 tell a different
story.
"CRTL's
active support from donors who contributed more than once in 2013, is
up by 71% proving that there is increased confidence in the
organizations improved focus. Retained donors year over year is up by
44% which is further indication that there is groundswell support for
the current path," said Cirino.
CRTL
attributes their success to the fact that they have stopped worrying
about polls and have continued to focus on the truth and their
grassroots. "While we know that polls have their place, we also know
that the outcome often depends on who is asking and determining the
questions. Ignoring these facts has sent many of the good guys down
rabbit holes where the Mad Hatter begins to look sane," said Smith.
"We
are excited to see that past participants and new nationally acclaimed
organizations such as Heritage Action for America, have already signed
up for booths and tickets," concluded Smith.
"2014
is shaping up to be a great year for our cause and our organization,"
noted Cirino. "We have the TRUTH behind us and the support of GREAT
volunteers," he concluded.
Cleveland Right to Life
represents grassroots prolife efforts from north east Ohio's 8 county
region and is one of the largest and most effective prolife educational
organizations in the state.
