A Special Note From Kelly

Published

Dear Friends and Fellow CPR Initiative Supporters!

Clearly, we face daunting times — both politically and legally.

I cannot tell you how strongly I support the approach that CPR Initiative leaders have outlined in the recent appeal. As Dan has written, “Playing defense will not suffice.” Indeed, we need to use our bedrock laws — or risk their loss.

I understand the temptation to hunker-down and wait things out, praying that the tide will turn on its own. But that path seems to me to be far more risky than principled and sustained action to enforce the letter and intent of existing law.

For that reason, then, I am going to respond to Dan’s call to action by making the most generous donation that I can, and also, as I have done each of these last two years, by hosting more house parties to benefit CPR Initiative.

Let’s press forward with everything we can muster, and support CPR Initiative’s efforts unsparingly. And then, of course, find other critically endangered causes to support and defend.

Yours in Peace and Hope,

Kelly O’Hanley

Can we count on your support?

Thank you for considering your most generous, tax-deductible contribution to support the critical work of CPR Initiative.
