Put Us to Work

I’ve been blessed to travel the country a little bit
this spring, and I’ve met many Register readers. Many are very concerned with
the future of the country, particularly with regard to the issues of abortion
and marriage.
The Register provides an invaluable
tool for following both these issues. But we never tire of pointing out that,
after reading the Register, you can act. Write to your representatives in state
and federal government to tell them to defend marriage.
To find out who your representatives
are and where they stand on the issues, go to VoteSmart.org
and type in your ZIP code. To check an office-holder’s voting records on
marriage, choose “Voting Records” then “Civil Liberties and Civil Rights.” Be
sure to read the details of each vote, because sometimes they are named in a
confusing way.
We also never tire of pointing out
that we must pray, pray, pray for the family, following the example of Pope
Benedict XVI himself. Say a daily Rosary and add the protection of the family
as one of your intentions.
