Right to Life of Kansas President Endorses Wasinger
Calls Wasinger's effectiveness and pro-life creds 'unmatched'

COTTONWOOD FALLS -- Today, Rob Wasinger announced the endorsement of Right to Life of Kansas President Elmer Feldkamp of Baileyville.

"Rob Wasinger is the only candidate in the race who I know will be an effective legislator in protecting women and their children from the violence of abortion," said Feldkamp. "As the father of ten children, Rob is reminded every day of the value of human life. Rob's pro-life credentials are unmatched and I encourage all pro-life Kansans in the Big First to vote for Rob Wasinger in the August 3rd Republican Primary."

Feldkamp joins national and local pro-life leaders in offering support for Wasinger's campaign for Congress.

What Pro-Life Leaders Are Saying About Wasinger:

"There has been no greater friend of the unborn child behind the scenes on Capitol Hill than Rob Wasinger. His mastery of legislative strategy is only matched by his unwavering commitment to the cause of life."
-- Fr. Frank Pavone, national pro-life leader

"I am proud to call Rob Wasinger a great friend and one of my top allies in working to build a Culture of Life in Washington. There are very few pro-life leaders in Washington who understand the complexities of bioethical issues such as stem-cell research and human cloning -- Rob is one of them and he is an expert. In order to challenge President Obama and the liberals in Congress, we must elect smart and savvy legislators who are not afraid to take them head on, and I know Rob will do just that -- and win. The pro-life movement must take back the majority in 2010 -- let's start by lending our early and enthusiastic support to Rob Wasinger."
-- Marjorie Dannenfelser, president, Susan B. Anthony List

"There are very few people I've met in the halls of Congress who have worked harder for the sanctity of human life than Rob Wasinger. Rob is an effective leader who has worked tirelessly to awaken the conscience of Washington to promote public policy that protects human life, in all its stages. When he is elected to Congress, the culture of death will have a real enemy in Rob Wasinger and a real friend, ally, and leader for those of us in the pro-life movement. In my beautiful sister Terri's memory, I urge you to join me and my family in supporting his bid for public office."
-- Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schinder Schiavo

"The pro-life movement desperately needs brilliant policy makers in Washington that know how to work the legislative process to protect innocent life. It is one thing to introduce pro-life legislation, its another thing to try and get it passed. Rob Wasinger is tested and proven given his extensive work in writing and passing pro-life legislation. I am thrilled to think the successes our movement will see when he is elected to serve in Congress. Rob is the first candidate in a long time that I am excited to open up my checkbook and lend my support to, and I encourage all serious pro-lifers who want to see advancements in Washington to do so as well."
-- Rick Valentine, former executive director, Americans United for Life

Wasinger is a native of Hays and has served Kansas as a former staffer to then-State Senate Majority Leader Jerry Moran, Governor Bill Graves, and most recently as chief-of-staff to U.S. Senator Sam Brownback. Wasinger lives with his wife, Meghan, and their ten children in Cottonwood Falls.
