I just received the following email (in the extended copy) from one of my friends who is also Catholic like myself but also a firebreathing neocon conservative Republican evil Bush supporter.
I am troubled that an organization claiming to represent Catholics has taken such a partisan position, especially when American Catholics have always either been divided among Republicans and Democrats or favored Democrats.
I suggest every Catholic on the Daily Kos email this organization "Your Catholic Voice" to voice your displeasure in an organization representing Catholics siding with the Republicans on this issue.
The email addresses are members@yourcatholicvoice.org and/or info@yourcatholicvoice.org.

Subject: OFFICIAL CATHOLIC PETITION: Protect Marriage

Please send this message to your friends and family right away.

Mr. John Smith (name removed) is urging you to join with other Catholics in the national effort to protect and defend marriage and the family.
Marriage and the family is the foundation of society. The courts in Massachusetts and California have ignored state laws defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. It is spreading to other states too.
The only way to protect the will of the people on marriage and the family is a federal constitutional amendment.
Please join with me to help to save marriage:

This is the link to the OFFICIAL CATHOLIC PETITION to save marriage.
It supports the Federal Marriage Amendment that is endorsed by the US Catholic Bishops.
The Federal Marriage Amendment is the leading bi-partisan effort to save marriage in our nation by amending the Constitution to define marriage as "one man and one woman."
The petition will be sent to sponsors in Congress to show them your support and encourage them to keep the amendment moving through the process. It is also necessary to rally massive support at critical times to get over the hurdles along the way.
Your participation and that of your friends and family will be critical to this effort.
This is urgent as there are new developments every day on this issue so we must move quickly.
Help bring other Catholics to this effort so we can deliver over 250,000 signatures in the very near future.
Please join me today by going to this link

We cannot afford to have law that sends confused messages to our kids about marriage, family and their own futures.
