Sam Brownback: Brownback Campaign Announces Pro-Life, Whole-Life Tour

Tour features prominent pro-life activists Bobby Schindler and Francis Bok

July 11, 2007 -- DES MOINES - The Brownback for President campaign announced today the Pro-Life, Whole-Life Tour, a series of campaign events featuring pro-life activists Bobby Schindler, the brother of the late Terri Schiavo, and Francis Bok, an escaped slave from the Sudan.

Francis Bok is an escaped Dinka slave from Sudan. At the age of seven he was abducted in a Sudanese government raid held in bondage in northern Sudan for nearly a decade. Bok was forced to sleep with cattle, endure daily beatings and eat rotten food. Since then he has dedicated his life to speaking on behalf of those who are still in bondage: "What good is my freedom if my brothers and sisters around the world are still not free?"

Bobby Schindler, brother to the late Terri Schiavo, gave up his teaching job at Tampa Catholic High School after his sister's husband received court permission to remove her feeding tube while she was in a coma caused by severe brain injury. Bobby now travels across the world telling his sister's story and describing the impact of euthanasia. Bobby is the author of "A Life That Matters" and the executive director of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation.

All events are free and open to the public and media.
