catholicvote | election 2016

Dear CV Friend,

I still can’t believe this...

Guess who is promoting pro-abortion Senate candidates in Georgia?

The new (and not improved) version of “Nuns on the Bus!”

GET THIS: Nuns on the Bus 2.0 are telling Catholics that Pope Francis’ teachings on “equally sacred” priorities for voters mean Catholics can support Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff -- two candidates that support abortion for any reason, including late-term abortion.

Their argument?

The “social justice” group falsely claims that pro-life voters only care about one issue, and that Republicans Loeffler and Perdue want to harm the sick and disabled, sex-trafficking victims, and others. These nuns are openly lying about both candidates -- not because Loeffler and Perdue actually oppose helping these people -- but because the candidates don’t support the nuns’ prudential solution for how it must be done.

It’s an old and discredited trick. But they might still fool enough Catholics into believing their lies.

Help us fight back. Chip in to our pro-life Georgia outreach!

Sister Simone Campbell and her crazy crew have no problem supporting stridently pro-abortion candidates, so it should come as no surprise if they have no problem bearing false witness about the Pope either.

They’re campaigning for pro-abortion Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in hopes that these two will hand control of the Senate to Chuck Schumer. They’re not even hiding it. They said, “This special election for both Georgia Senators will determine if President-Elect Biden has the opportunity to pass legislation that addresses economic justice, health care, immigration policy, climate change, and more.”

Did you notice their laundry list of priorities didn’t mention anything about the unborn or religious freedom?

That’s because if the Democrats take the Senate, they’ll kill the Hyde Amendment, jumpstart taxpayer funding of abortion, slam the door on religious freedom, and codify Roe v. Wade into law.

It’s totally shameful and disgusting to invoke Catholic teaching to vote for candidates who support expanding the legal right to end the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent children.

It’s even more shameful to use the goodwill that people associate with nuns to shill for pro-abortion candidates…

We have to fight back.

CatholicVote is already on the ground in Georgia.

We’re blitzing the state with thousands of calls, text messages, mailings, and a big rally this Saturday outside Planned Parenthood.

Our Bishops have made clear that many issues are important. Pro-life voters are not single-issue voters. But we believe protecting human life from the threat of abortion is the “preeminent” issue. And for good reason.

If you're in the Atlanta area, please join us this Saturday morning in Marietta. We'll be singing Christmas carols outside Planned Parenthood to bring light and hope to a place of darkness and suffering. Then we will be rallying voters with special guests Abby Johnson and Alveda King! Our goal is to spread the message of the great hope of Advent and motivate Catholics and Christians to get out the vote, and send them home with signs, stickers, and encouragement.

And on top of this, we’re planning a full-court press with a barrage of ads targeting Catholics across the state for the next three weeks.

Anything you can do to help fuel this effort will be much appreciated. Chip in here!

I know you realize that if Democrats take these two seats, they capture the Senate.

We cannot let that happen!

Help us fight back.

Brian
