January 20, 2011--Pro-life
activist Randall Terry announced his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for President in front of the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum. Terry's objective is not so much to defeat
President Barack Obama as it is to "run ads on the Super Bowl in 2012
that show dead babies, the
victims of abortion." "We will with the help of God bring America
face to face with the victims of Obama's policies," Terry stated.
His
premise is that stations are required by federal law to broadcast
advertisements by qualified federal candidates, unless the ads violate
copyright or are defamatory. "Every social revolution
that has been victorious—the end of slavery, women's voting rights, end
of child labor, end of segregation—they all used incindiary images to
awaken the conscience of the nation," Terry said in an interview.
"I am following that playbook
to be victorious in making child-killing illegal." Terry said he
has a goal of winning in Iowa, and plans to make his first visit there
in mid-March. Terry,
acccompanied by his wife and young children, was introduced by Missy
Reilly Smith
and Rabbi Yehuda Levin. [transcript]
