TALK TO THE PRESIDENT!

I don't know if anybody out there is still reading here, but if so, perhaps you will join me in this effort.

Last week, President Bush wrote a letter to the Congress telling them that he will veto any legislation that includes federal funding for abortions. In the letter he talks about how wrong it is to "allow taxpayer dollars to be used for the destruction of human life." As a pro-life liberal, it was impossible for me to read that part without thinking about the Iraq War, where our tax money is killing a lot of people.

If you feel the same way I do, join me in contacting the president to express your views. You can call 202-456-1111 or email to [email protected].gov

IF YOU ARE PRO-LIFE, PLEASE MENTION IT IN YOUR COMMENT!

Here's an article at LifeNews.com that includes the text of Bush's letter.

If you do send him a message, feel free to leave a comment here and tell me that you did.

I'm still way too busy to do quality blogging, so I'm not promising that I'll write anything else soon, but I am going to call the White House.

I agree that we need to stop funding abortions, I have always supported the President because I think he is basically a good christian leader but I can't help but think that our troops are suffering for a lost cause,it is great for us to want to help others but at what costs?... I think we really need to pray for our leaders to make better decisions & also for our troops to come home where we need them!!!

Thank you for all that you do on your blog. I would like to call your action to an urgent matter:

Immediate Action Needed!

This Wednesday, on Oct 24th, Holy Cross College, A Catholic college in Massachusetts, will allow the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy to hold a seminar on their campus. This Alliance is completely at odds with teachings of the Catholic Church, but most importantly features Planned Parenthood and NARAL as part of their lineup. The Alliance advocates that youth should receive "comprehensive pregnancy prevention services" which include access to contraception and comprehensive sex education. This will give Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice of Massachusetts a venue to educate other professionals on how to reach teens with their pro-abortion message. One seminar presenter has even been known to include devices known as "sex toys" in her talks on college campuses!

We must ensure that Planned Parenthood and NARAL don't get a platform to push their pro-abortion agenda. We must make sure that Holy Cross abides by the policies of the Bishops and kicks out Planned Parenthood and NARAL, and doesn't condone their presence.

The President of the College, Fr. McFarland, has been asked by Bishop McManus, alumni, and students to cancel the event, but he is refusing to follow their request. Fr. McFarland sent out a rebuttal to Bishop McManus saying that he doesn't see things the same way, and that by his interpretation it's alright to allow Planned Parenthood and NARAL to come to Holy Cross.

Something is wrong at Holy Cross, help us reach the people who can change it.

Join with thousands of concerned pro-lifers and call, e-mail, or petition Holy Cross to cancel the event.

o Send an e-mail to Fr. McFarland and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees by e-mailing [email protected] This e-mail will be forwarded to Fr. McFarland, the Board, and Bishop McManus.

o Call Fr. McFarland at 508-793-2525.

o Petition Fr. McFarland and the Holy Cross Board of Trustees by going to www.holycrossalumni.org.
