An Open Letter to “Pro-choice” Candidates October 27, 2008 Dear brothers and sisters, In these days you are seeking the votes of your fellow Americans for public office. At the same time, you take the position that abortion, however regrettable it may be, should remain legal. I write to express the convictions of tens of millions of citizens. Your position is a blatant contradiction to the very meaning of public service, the first requirement of which is to be able to tell the difference between serving the public and killing the public! We ask, first of all, Have you ever...

Sarah Palin speaking now. . . on fire, exposing the LA Times, introducing Joe the Plumber. The crowds are going wild!

Among the most important titles in the Catholic Church for the Blessed Virgin Mary are Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary. These titles can be traced back to one of thw most decisive times in the history of the world and Christendom. The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7 (date of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary), 1571. This proved to be the most crucial battle for the Christian forces against the radical Muslim navy of Turkey. Pope Pius V led a procession around St.Peter's Square in Vatican City praying the Roasry....

On October 20, the Catholic League accused two left-wing Catholic groups of consorting with George Soros, the bigoted pro-abortion mogul. Specifically, we said that Catholics in Alliance receives funding from Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) and that it is integrally linked to Catholics United. Now Chris Korzen of Catholics United is saying that OSI also funds Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Catholic Legal Immigration Services (CLIS), thus making them morally equal. Replying to this is Catholic League president Bill Donohue: “Unlike the three Catholic organizations cited by Korzen, Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance are apologists for abortion...

In the October 19 edition of the News Journal, Joe Biden offered his thoughts on faith and values. The Delaware daily also printed a 2007 interview with the Democratic VP candidate on the subject of abortion; it was not previously published. Catholic League president Bill Donohue criticizes Biden’s views today: “In his latest interview with the News Journal, Biden says, ‘I accept my Church’s teaching on when life begins. But we live in a society where a large number of people don’t agree with that position.’ This is true and much the same could be said about racism: The Catholic...

On today’s episode of “Ellen,” Joe Biden told Ellen DeGeneres “that if I lived in California, I would vote against Proposition 8.” This initiative reads, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” Yet in his debate with Sarah Palin on October 2, Biden said that “Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage.” Catholic League president Bill Donohue weighed in on this today: “Proposition 8 is a civil initiative that would secure marriage as an institution that is exclusively between a man and a woman, and Joe Biden...

"The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men." --Samuel Adams In his Inaugural Address on 20 January, 1961, President John F. Kennedy closed his remarks with these famous words: "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." With those words, JFK, considered by many to be the most exemplary leader of the Democrat Party in the 20th Century, asked Americans to put country first, a bedrock principle of the Party until the last few decades. However today, the current slate of Democrats...

"History has proven that a democracy is always temporal in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy,(which is)usually followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those...

We are really desperate here in Bergen County, NJ to get Sarah Palin and Johm McCain to agree to a Rally at Liberty Park, In Jersey City, NJ. In light of Sarah's remarks today on the possible pullout from Michigan, and her stated desire to go there despite things not looking good, we think that if presented with the following letter she might see the advantage of possibly shaking up a few more votes and getting her message out to the people of NJ/NY/CT. They have to pull out all the stops now. . . We are sick of just...

I am writing on behalf of a group of McCain/Palin volunteers who met last week in Ramsey, NJ, in order to try to get out out the vote and garner support for the 2008 Campaign. . . the most important Presidential Campaign in recent memory. We were wondering if any thought has been given to holding a rally at Liberty State Park, in Jersey City, NJ sometime in October? In light of the enormous crowds Sarah Palin has been generating (most recently last week in Florida), we thought a perfect venue for a rally would be right on the Hudson...

Here is a Perfect example of Kerry & his voters undecisiveness. . .it's just too funny: On Thursday night someone stole my Bush/Cheney sign from my front lawn. It was placed directly under my flag, beautifully illuminated, for all to see. I was so mad to find it gone and filed a police report. I also put up a huge sign that said "Who Took My Bush Cheny Sign?" Yesterday, Saturday, I notice that one of my neighbors across the street had a sign like mine drooping on the edge of her property. I thought it was kind of strange...

So tired of hearing from the media (Fox included): "Who will win the debate?" "Who won the debate?" The idea that there is a "winner",(that the one with the stronger speaking ability is the one who has the advantage)sends the message to the public that he is the better candidate. Not necessarily so. There have been many diabolical leaders who were exceptional speakers. This incessant polling about who "won" just puts too much importance on the presentation instead of the candidates record and his basic vision for the future of this country. OMG, if you need a debate to decide...

Dornan's comments were right on. . .although I can relate on the issue of abortion, his remarks today were directed at the issue of stem-cell research. His comments basically reflected his feeling that the ramifications of a Kerry win would have a profound effect on all Catholics. I agree. When are the bishiops going to take a stronger stand? Specifically, when will they denounce the voting practices of Catholics who are going to vote for a Pro-Choice candidate? Strongly denounce, as Archbishop Raymond Burke did last week in an interview with the ST. Louis Review. Thank God for his courage....

I am soooo frustrated by the misinformation being put forth as to what is, and is not allowed to be distributed by the Catholic Church regarding the candidates stand on the issues. (Specifically the abortion issue.)Yesterday was Respect Life Sunday. As a Pro-Life group within our parish, we had a speaker, a coffee, and do our usual car raffle for NRTL. Our pastor is strongly pro-life and so supportive of our intentions, however, even he is wary of our group putting out issue oriented literature for fear of loss of tax-exempt status. A simple voter guide(from the NRTL, available on...
