I am so—I’m getting goose bumps. This is the first I’ve been up here that I could see all of you. God bless you. Thank you for taking the time from your work, your families, whatever else you had to do today to come to this event that will be monumental for the State of Ohio, and you’re all a part of it. Thank you.

As a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, I am pleased to endorse the tremendous objectives of Reformation Ohio. The ambitious objectives are worthy of our sustained support and heartfelt prayers. I am particularly delighted that Reformation Ohio will be reaching out to the hurting and the less fortunate in our state, making a difference. (applause). Making a big difference with acts of compassion and mercy. I thank the members of the Board of Directors for working in such a unified effort. We are all unified as Pastor Forbes said, in this unprecedented initiative.

And, Pastor Parsley, as he founder of Reformation Ohio, would you please come forward. I have for you and the Board of Directors this morning, a commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives. (cheers, applause, whistles). I’ll read a brief portion of it:

On behalf of the members of the Ohio House of Representatives we are pleased to extend special recognition to the Center for Moral Clarity and the launch of Reformation Ohio. Over the years, the Center for Moral Clarity has made many significant contributions to the area and has earned the well deserved respect and appreciation of many. A four year initiative, Reformation Ohio will promote spiritual, revival and moral reformation, and all that is associated with the launch of this exemplary program are deserving of high praise for their unwavering dedication.

Again, thank you.

OHIO VOTES FOR LIFE TRANSCRIPT: REP. LINDA REIDELBACH

OHIO VOTES FOR LIFE RALLY
OHIO RIGHT TO LIFE
Bicentennial Park, Columbus, Ohio
September 25, 2004

INTRODUCTION: JOHN WILLKE:
Our next famous person is Linda Reidelbach. She represents the northern Franklin County here in the Columbus area. She's in the US House (sic). I first met her when she was trying to get in. I think she missed it on her first try, but we're delighted that she's made it since. She's a member of the Ohio Compassionate Care Task Force, which studies ways to improve the availability of pain control, palliative care in Ohio. Translate: that says she's against euthanasia and she's for helping people remain as comfortable as they can until their life ends naturally. (applause). She has authored a resolution urging Congress to prevent all forms of human cloning. And we certainly thank her for that. She's married to Mike who I think has good taste in women. Smart ones also. And I think they have four kids (Reidelbach in background: "and one grandchild") Are you that old? OK. And one grand kid. (applause)

LINDA REIDELBACH:
Dr. Willke is always so very gracious. Thank you. And Derrick Seaver is one of my colleagues. We've been on a couple of committees together in the House, and Derrick's--I don't know where he went, but any time you want it, you're welcome on my side of the aisle. And he's very wise for his age. I want to mention too, I think we missed an opportunity here today. I think after Ken Blackwell finished speaking, you should have taken a collection. That would have been a perfect time to do that.

Let me get this OK.

I want to know if you meet the requirements --any of you here-- if you meet the requirements to vote this November. Are you properly registered? Yes (Yes) Yes. All right! If not, you'd better hurry up. If you've moved or you've gotten married and changed your name or something you do need to change your address and change your name. If you have any kids or grandkids who are in college, they can be registered at their home address, but they can vote by absentee, but you have to get that absentee ballot application into your county board of elections, so I just wanted to remind you to do that today.

I just want to make a few comments about politics and voting. Some of us are called to a political ministry and that's good because Proverbs...
