- Mike Fitzpatrick (US House, PA 08),
- David Gibbon (Pa House 31 - Gibbon did not even respond to questions from the Pa Catholic or the Pa Family Council and did not get a rating from the Pa Pro Life Federation. While he is certainly an "unkown," Santarsiero is well known to be anti life and anti marriage/family.).
- write-in (Pa Senate 10),
- Corbett/Cawley (Gov/Lt.Gov)
Pa's 8th Congressional District
In my mind, there is little doubt that Mike Fitzpatrick will be victorious over the Tom Hanks look-alike:Mike Fitzpatrick has been quoted as saying that this will be his last term in the U.S. House; he will not run in 2016. Fitzpatrick is to be commended for his favorable vote on No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (HR 7) and his co-sponsorship of the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (HR 940). Yet the failure of this proudly Catholic congressman to co-sponsor other USCCB-backed legislation should trouble all of us:
- Marriage Protection Amendment (HJ Res 51)
-
- Marriage and Religious Freedom Act (HR 3133)
- State Marriage Defense Act (HR 3829)
- Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act of 2014 (HR 5285)
- Second Chance Act (HR 3465)
Come on Mike, do you really want this to be your legacy? We need you to step up to the plate and co-sponsor/support the Marriage Protection Amendment (HJ Res 51), the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act (HR 3133), the State Marriage Defense Act (HR 3829), the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act of 2014 (HR 5285), and the Second Chance Act (HR 3465).
Pennsylvania General Assembly and the Governor / Lt. Governor
On a state level, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference urges us to advocate to:
- Support Marriage,
- Support equal education funding,
- Oppose the death penalty,
- Oppose HB 300 / SB 300.
