Action Needed for “School Choice Now Act”
July 27, 2020 by ·
A message from the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference:
Thank you for all your continued support of Catholic education! We need one more big push from all our Catholic education stakeholders to be successful.
Contact your members of Congress and ask them to support the new “School Choice Now Act” and include all Catholic school students and teachers in the emergency relief package currently being negotiated.
Here is more from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops:
COVID-19 has contributed to the permanent closure of 138 Catholic schools across 23 states. Additionally, internal surveys show ten percent of Catholic schools are now uncertain if they can open their doors this fall. That means as many as 500 or more Catholic schools could be in jeopardy.
As the Senate prepares its next aid bill, we ask that the next COVID relief package include immediate assistance to families through federally-funded scholarships.
The Alexander-Scott “School Choice Now Act” provides one-time, emergency funding for scholarship-granting organizations in each state; and provides permanent dollar-for-dollar
federal tax credits for contributions to scholarship granting organizations.
Please contact your U.S. Representative and Senators today to request support of the Alexander-Scott “School Choice Now Act” in the base bill.

Urge your senators to vote for ‘Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act’
February 20, 2020 by ·
Thursday, February 20, 2020
Dear Friend,
Your action is needed to help save children!
Your U.S. senators are expected to vote next week on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S. 3275). While we support the effort to abolish all abortion and fight to undo Roe v. Wade, we also fight to pass legislation that will save as many unborn babies as we possibly can.
Send an email now urging your senators to vote to ban abortions once an unborn child can feel pain.
Although research indicates unborn babies can feel pain in the womb at 20 weeks, as many as 22 states allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. In his 2020 State of the Union address, President Trump spoke out against this moral atrocity and issued a call to ban late-term abortions.
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is a step in that direction, and it has bi-partisan support in Congress.
Contact your senators now! Email your senators and urge them to vote FOR the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
If our mission resonates with you, please consider supporting our work financially with a tax-deductible donation. The easiest way to do that is through online giving. It is easy to use, and most of all, it is secure.
Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association
Gov. Wolf wants to force you to add to Planned Parenthood’s profits. Join us in taking action

Tell Congress the ERA Hurts Women and the Unborn
February 11, 2020 by ·
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was passed by Congress in 1972, with the stated purpose of enshrining equality between the sexes in our Constitution. However, it failed to be ratified by three-fourths of the states (38) within the 7-year time limit established by Congress. Now, abortion activists in Congress, among others, are trying to revive it by passing a resolution (H.J. Res. 79) to eliminate the deadline for ratification by the states. The House plans to vote this Thursday and needs to hear from you now!
Catholic social teaching, and recent popes, speak very clearly and strongly about the equality of men and women based upon their equal dignity as children of God. And the Church recognizes the need to do more to address unjust inequities between women and men. However, the ERA in its current form poses very serious consequences, including likely requiring federal funding for abortions, and overturning pro-life and conscience protection laws. More information about the ERA and its consequences is presented in this fact sheet.
Because of these serious consequences, the Bishops are urging members to oppose the ERA in its current form, and to vote “no” on H.J. Res. 79. Please join the bishops and contact your member today!
