We are ready to assist you to find the forgiveness, healing, and peace that you seek. The arena for moral responsibility includes not only the halls of government, but the voting booth as well. Laws that permit abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are profoundly unjust, and we should work peacefully and tirelessly to oppose and change them. We encourage all citizens , particularly Catholics, to embrace their citizenship not merely as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity meaningfully to participate in building the culture of life . Every voice matters in the public forum.
Every vote counts.
Every act of responsible citizenship is an exercise of significant individual power. We get the public officials we deserve. Sometimes it seems few candidates and no party fully reflect our values. But now is not a time for retreat. The new millennium should be an opportunity for renewed participation.
