Here is the email from the Catholics for health care: link added

I got this because I signed a petition for health care I guess...

Dear xxxxx ,
http://faithforhealth.org /


Over the past month, Catholics United has joined other faith-based organizations for a 40 Days for Health Reform campaign. More than 300,000 people of faith participated in advocacy events over the August recess. Together we sent a clear message that reforming a broken health care system is an urgent moral imperative.

We can't stop now.

On Tuesday, September 15, please join the National Call-in Day for Health Care Reform. People of faith around the country will be calling their memebers of Congress to express their support for health care reform.

To do your part, call 866-279-5474 anytime between 9am and 5pm ET tomorrow.

This is a toll free patch through phone line for people of faith that will direct you to your representatives office.

Let Congress know that affordable and quality health care for all is about serving the common good and human dignity, not partisan politics.

Our representatives are hearing from those shouting down health care reform. It's critical they hear from Catholics and other people of faith like you who know that health care is a human right, not a luxury for the privileged few.

Faith-based movements have always inspired our nation to live up to its highest ideals. We know that victories for social justice never come easily. Together we can make quality and affordable health care a reality for all Americans.

Thanks for putting your faith into action.

The Catholics United Team,

Chris, James and Nick

3. Too bad the media only offers that ass hat Donahue/Catholic League as "voice of Catholicism"
Further, over the last 10-15 years, either the progressives have left or stood by speechless (or, were quashed), as the Catholic churches (at least in my region) have promoted RW agendas, both overtly and in more subtle ways, and abandoned all concerns for human rights/equality issues. It is one of the key things that made me question all religions and come to be an atheist - and, obviously, leave the church. Admittedly, it had taken a lot for me to talk myself into 'faith' to begin with. But, having seen the good it COULD DO, made me more willing to consider the possibility.
