Randall Terry: Why I am Running for President in the Democratic Primary

The use of images of babies killed by abortion grips the heart of viewers, and drives the plight of the unborn to center stage in the political arena. Their broken bodies help create the social tension and crisis of conscience that are required fare on the journey to change the law. My campaign offers a vehicle for pro-life Democrats to send a message to President Obama that they are angry about his policies regarding the unborn, his unprecedented attack on Religious Liberty, and his bullying of private insurance carriers to provide drugs that kill human life in its earliest days.

P>WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - My campaign for President of the United States in the Democratic Primary against incumbent President Obama has caused rage in some corners, elation in others. These reactions are primarily due to my graphic TV commercials in which I show aborted babies. (See commercials at Randall Terry for President)

While I won't be the Democratic nominee for President, my candidacy serves an important role for unborn children, for pro-life Democrats, and possibly for the whole nation during the general election.

Because of FCC law for federal candidates, I can show the victims of abortion to millions of Americans on uncensored TV ads. Whether we like it or not, in virtually every major peaceful political revolution in the last 150 years, the protagonists used graphic images of victims to further their political agenda.

The civil rights movement in America showed murdered African Americans; the anti-apartheid movement of South Africa showed victims of torture and murder; the anti-child labor movement showed horrific images of danger and death for children; those opposing the Vietnam War showed images of dead women and children in Vietnam; the abolitionists showed the scarred backs of slaves; those fighting anti-Semitism show the victims of the Holocaust.

In like manner, the use of images of babies killed by abortion grips the heart of viewers, and drives the plight of the unborn to center stage in the political arena. Their broken bodies help create the social tension and crisis of conscience that are required fare on the journey to change the law.

Next, my campaign offers a vehicle for pro-life Democrats to send a message to President Obama that they are angry about his policies regarding the unborn, his unprecedented attack on Religious Liberty, and his bullying of private insurance carriers to provide drugs that kill human life in its earliest days.

If I get 5% of the vote on March 6 in the Oklahoma primary (from whence I write), it sends a rebuke to Obama, and says there are a significant numbers of Democratic voters who put Life and Liberty ahead of Party loyalty. If I get 10%, it is a national news story. If I get 15% or more, I get delegates for the Democratic National Convention. Whichever number I get, it spells trouble for Obama with pro-life Democrat and Independent voters, especially Catholic and Evangelicals.

And finally, my campaign could cause Obama's defeat in November 2012. In 2008, many voters did not foresee how staunchly President Obama would promote abortion; no one could have predicted his tyrannical HHS regulations now being pushed on us all.
