Ecke's Ranch - America's Biggest Supplier of Poinsettias and One of The Biggest Financier's of Planned Parenthood Action Alert! November 27, 2006

Lizabeth Ecke of Carlsbad gave $100, $900, & $3,000 to the No on 85 campaign. Jinx Ecke of La Jolla gave $2,550 & $4,500 to the No on 85 campaign. Thus these two Ecke women continued their financing of the abortion industry by giving thousands of dollars to prevent the Prop. 85 - Parental Notification Law from passing in 2006. Purchasing Poinsettias from the Ecke Family is allowing these women to fund the abortion industry!
Here is a list of Ecke Family connections listed as Planned Parenthood's biggest San Diego donors:
1. The Ecke Family
2. Elisabeth (Jinx) Ecke
3. Lizbeth A. Ecke and David Meyer
4. Paul Ecke III and Julie Hampton
5. Paul and Magdalena Ecke Poinsettia Foundation
6. Sara Ecke May and Andrew W. May Family
Carlsbad, California will now be more capable than ever of continuing to exterminate unborn babies thanks to 74 year-old Ecke Family matriarch Elisabeth "Jinx" Ecke. According to a November 17, 2005 North County Times report (http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/11/18/news/coastal/23_38_1511_17_05.txt , Mrs. Ecke, who did not abort her own children, joined those same three grown children, Paul Ecke III, Lizbeth Ecke and Sara Ecke May, to contribute $250,000 of the needed $340,000 for the renovation of the new Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic at 1820 Marron Road in Carlsbad (http://www.planned.org/site/PageServer?pagename=HS_CarlsbadClinic . At the dedication of the new Carlsbad abortion provider, clinic staff honored the Ecke Family with a catered reception. While many of those in attendance chowed down on fancy food, some of the women there, gleefully reiterated their increased drive to support the abortion movement.
According to a Logan Jenkins column in the San Diego Union Tribune www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20051119/news_1mi19jenkins.html the Ecke financed abortion clinic in Carlsbad will now be able to "service" up to 1,500 patients a month, twice the number of the old Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Oceanside, California. He also quotes Paul Ecke III, the abortion fanatic's son, who seems to be as agressively supportive of abortion as his mother:
"As children, we licked a lot of envelopes, we made a lot of phone calls, we walked door-to-door to encourage people to vote. Those causes were political campaigns, 4-H club, school bonds, Planned Parenthood and others.
"Our mother demonstrated to us that a family like ours -- even though you've got a business and we all chipped in and worked hard in the business -- we also learned to give back. You don't do things because you should, you actually have to do them, they become must-do things."
Paul Ecke III
Without question, this Ecke Family name will forever be enshrined in the halls of pure evil. The diabolical efforts of the San Diego Ecke clan to associate its name with family and children's charities while pouring huge amounts of money into the abortion industry, is one of the great satanic stories in modern America.
Mrs. Ecke's socialistic beliefs and abortion fanaticism even extends to limiting the role of parents in their children's lives. In the recent Prop. 73 initiative which would have legalized parental notification when their little girls are considering abortions at Planned Parenthood, Mrs. Ecke was a big financier to defeat the proposition. According to the website Election Track, Mrs. Ecke donated $4,500 to the No On Prop. 73 campaign
Magdalena Ecke, the original wife of Ecke Ranch founder Paul Ecke, has her named attached to the YMCA: Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA http://ecke.ymca.org. The idea that the Young Men's Christian Association YMCA, would allow the family name of one of America's biggest financiers of abortion to be attached to its Christian organization is truly an abomination of Biblical proportions. This marketing of evil by the Ecke Family seems to know no scrupulous boundaries.
While the Ecke Clan is assuring that there will continue to be an assembly line of unborn infant exterminations at Planned Parenthood's abortion mills, they are actually utilizing a network of charitable events with young children to counter their true
devious image. The Paul Ecke Poinsettias programs http://www.pauleckepoinsettias.com merchandises children's fundraising programs at Christmas time, as well as other elementary school endeavors http://www.pauleckepoinsettias.com/html/merch_fund.html
One of the Ecke's most vile efforts in this dark repackaging effort, is their program, "Kids Flowers" www.kidsflowers.com. With Kids Flowers, Ecke Ranch supplies their poinsettias and other flowers to elementary schools for fundraising projects for those same schools. The company website states about the Kids Flowers program: http://www.kidsflowers.com/index.html "It's All About Kids. And Folks saying "Ooooh!"
A refreshing new way to raise funds for your school.
When parents, who object to the horrific Ecke-sponsorship of Planned Parenthood, bring their children to Legoland, they may not realize that Legoland sits on Carltas Company property www.carltas.com. The connection between the Ecke family and Legoland is clear. On the Legoland website for youth programs, the Ecke named Magdalena Ecke YMCA is listed as a location for Legoland Youth Camp http://www.lego.com/legoland/califo...sp?locale=2057. It is truly disturbing that thousands of parents opposed to abortion, are unwittingly paying millions of dollars in ticket sales to Legoland, while the amusement park landowner is tied to the Ecke Family.
When history is recorded and reviewed, the keen observer will pause to analyze the Ecke Family's obsession with the baby-killing insanity of the abortion industry. The mockery of family values by the Ecke-Planned Parenthood connections will be scrutinized by Christians for decades to come: How could Christians fill churches with Ecke-produced poinsettias and the bank accounts of Ecke-subsidized Planned Parenthood clinics at the same time? Hopefully, history will also record that one of the great moral indignations occurred as the result of an informed and awakened Christian community becoming aware of, and outraged over, the Ecke-Poinsettia-Planned Parenthood-Abortion connection.
"I was a Republican. I did stand up. I got crucified for it and finally said, 'To hell with it,'" says Elisabeth "Jinx" Ecke, a longtime Planed Parenthood supporter and board member in San Diego, Calif. "I've tried to support Republican candidates in the California Assembly, and they swear on a stack of bibles that they'll vote pro- choice. Then they go to Sacramento and they vote anti-choice. I'm done." Ecke, 74, cast her first vote for Dwight Eisenhower back in 1953. Four years ago, she reregistered by checking the "Decline to State" box. "I'm supporting mostly Democrats for one simple reason: choice," she says. "People say you can't be a one issue voter and I say, 'Yes I can.'" http://www.alternet.org/rights/34104/
Take Action Now!
"Choosing Babies Over Poinsettias!"
Take The "Choosing Babies Over Poinsettias Pledge!"
Until the Ecke Family completely stops funding the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood, will you commit to stop purchasing poinsettias? Will you encourage your church to stop purchasing poinsettias? It's that simple. Spread the word. Encourage everyone in America to stop purchasing poinsettias until the Ecke Clan stops supporting the killing of unborn babies. You can also contact your local nurseries, stores and florists and tell them to stop carrying Ecke products, until they stop funding Planned Parenthood.
