"Don't Mess With Florida".

Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne. These innocent-sounding names bring fear, anxiety, and anguish to the hearts of tens of thousands of Floridians. They are the four major hurricanes that slammed, crashed, and thundered their way onto all of Florida's three coasts.

During the summer of 2004, everyone in Florida was affected by these four vicious storms. From the Florida Keys to Jacksonville and from Naples to Pensacola Beach there was destruction, devastation, and darkness.

Floridians healed and mended, not only their bodies and their homes, but also their hearts and minds. For many of us it was a summer we will never forget. Floridians had been beaten and bruised by the forces of nature, but they came back. Many are still rebuilding.

But we knew that there was another storm coming, only this one would come in the fall. Many in the state knew that the next storm wasn't going to come off the coast of Africa and churn across the Atlantic, nor was it coming from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

This storm, they knew, would come from the north. They knew that there was no reprieve. If it overpowered them, unlike the other four, this one would mean annihilation for millions.

Just as they had for the previous four storms, Floridians battened down in early October. Only this time they didn't use plywood and nails, they used pro-life literature and volunteers. They didn't stock up on water and canned foods, they stocked up on prayer. In combating storm Kerry/Edwards, pro-life names, not generators, became the most prized possessions.

When it was all said and done, nearly a million pieces of pro-life literature were delivered, explaining John Kerry's unwavering and unforgivable position on abortion in comparison to President Bush's pro-life record.
