Vote Gopher
Fact Check
Open Secrets

Project for the week: go through the site with the kids and sort out the FACTS. I went through them briefly this morning, and to me it’s still a no-brainer — I’m voting Catholic, period… and that means pro-life. [...]

Before You Vote #7: Understand How Socialized Medicine Works

Five Myths of Socialized Medicine

and here’s Obama’s plan for universal health care

Is this really what we want? Of course, I’m talking about those of us that actually DO CARE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF OUR BODIES, OUR HEALTH AND OUR FAMILIES’ HEALTH. We don’t drink or smoke, we wear our seatbelts, we try to eat [...]

Waaah… She’s 10 minutes from here.

But I don’t have tickets and I can’t believe we’re missing this.

Sarah Palin in [...]

Awwww… that’s SOOO cool.

And like Matthew Archbold says, moving.

The video doesn’t really show that much, but do read the letter — something she said really stood out for me:

What I wish I’d been able to say to her is that the major reason I consider her a hero is the way she stands in stark contrast to the false [...]

Before You Vote #6: Bishop Serratelli on FOCA

Bp. Serratelli: FOCA – an alarm for decent Americans to wake up

Why this is critical reading: If you don’t understand how FOCA works/will work, you need to read this. “Freedom of Choice” is such a *NOBLE* phrase — at first glance it may fool anyone into thinking that it’s so magnanimous and helpful to [...]

Before You Vote #3: ACORN, Obama, “Catholic” Support, the Financial Crisis and Voter Fraud

Dissing the Organizer: Obama, ACORN, and Catholic Action by Stephanie Block

It’s all about connecting the dots: Barack Obama, (Cafeteria) Catholic Support, Voter Fraud, and the Financial Crisis.

This is not what scripture or the Church teaches, of course. It isn’t enough that organizations acquire “good things” for their constituencies. They must accept and teach moral truth; [...]

Before You Vote #2: Palin on Obama and Abortion-on-Demand

Consider this:

Palin Slams Obama’s Pro-Abortion-on-Demand Record

Excerpt:

I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?

Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to [...]

And not to minimize the impact of abortion on the [...]
