PAC Guidelines for Candidate Endorsement

Candidate Procedure for Receiving Personhood FL ProLife PAC’s Endorsement

Personhood FL is a statewide organization whose fundamental purpose is to engage in activities that will restore respect and effective legal protection to all human beings from the moment of fertilization until natural death.

If you seek the Personhood FL ProLife PAC endorsement, we ask that you do the following:

1. Read our Pro-Life Principles in order to familiarize yourself with our legislative intentions, mission statement, and pro-life strategies.
2. Once you feel comfortable that you agree with our ProLife Principles, please sign the Personhood Affirmation Form (on pages 23 of the ProLife Principles). Your signature on page 23 indicates your full agreement with where we stand on the important sanctity of life issues of our day.
3. Sign the Sanctuaries for Life Petition (on page 25 of the ProLife Principles).
4. Return signed originals of both to Personhood FL ProLife PAC, P.O. Box 493000, Leesburg, FL 34749 or 7190 S US Highway 1, Port St Lucie, FL 34952. For the primary election for federal, state, and local candidates, signed forms must physically arrive in our office or delivered electronically by Friday, August 17, 2024 to be eligible for endorsement..

After these steps have been completed our PAC will review all the information and will make our endorsement decision. Endorsement decisions will be made irrespective of party affiliation and at the sole discretion of Personhood FL ProLife PAC. If you are endorsed, you will be notified of our decision by email. It is very important that you assist us in following these PAC procedures. You are NOT endorsed until you receive an email from us explicitly stating an endorsement by our PAC. Until you receive confirmation of our endorsement, you are NOT permitted to use our logo, quotes from our staff or board members, or claim a Personhood FL ProLife PAC endorsement in your campaign material.

Personhood FL ProLife PAC’s ProLife Principles

All candidates running for office must sign the Personhood FL ProLife PAC Personhood Affirmation Statement (page 23) and The Right to Life of All Persons Recognized and Protected proposed amendment to the FL Constitution (page 25) in order to be considered for endorsement. Personhood FL ProLife PAC’s Personhood Affirmation Statement is listed below. If you are a candidate running for office and you are seeking an endorsement, please download the Pro-Life Principles file by clicking here and return the Personhood Affirmation Statement found on page 23 to Personhood FL ProLife PAC, 7190 S US Highway 1, Port St Lucie, FL 34952 by the appropriate dates listed above.

Personhood Affirmation

WHEREAS, the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law,” Personhood FL ProLife PAC affirms the principle that the right to life is the bedrock upon which all other Constitutional rights are derived;

IN ADDITION, we believe, in the face of compelling biological evidence, that a continuum of human life and personhood begins at the moment of fertilization and ends at natural death, the ethical treatment of human embryos must include their “best interests;”

THEREFORE, I affirm my support for The Right to Life of All Persons Recognized and Protected proposed Amendment to the Florida Constitution, The Florida Personhood Act, and other actions that would support these principles. This would assure that regardless of race, age, degree of disability, manner of conception, or circumstances surrounding a terminal illness, that the civil rights of the pre-born at an embryonic or fetal level, the elderly, and those with mental or physical infirmities are protected by law; and are violated when we allow destructive embryonic stem cell research, therapeutic or reproductive cloning, animal human hybrids, abortion (in the rare case that the mother’s life is indeed endangered by a continuation of the pregnancy, sound medical practice would dictate that every effort be made to save both lives), infanticide, euthanasia or assisted suicide.

Personhood FL ProLife PAC will regard a vote for legislation containing language in violation to that described above in our ProLife Principles document as a vote in direct opposition to the Affirmation you signed. This action will result in immediate removal of your Personhood FL ProLife PAC endorsement and will be reported in subsequent communications from Personhood FL to the grassroots activists in our state.

Affirmation for Endorsement

I agree to uphold these principles and positions.
