The faithful may read more about the issues at hand and sign an online petition at https://www.notaxpayerabortion.com/.As you are well aware the Church and her values are under attack at this time in history and we must call upon our people to respond loudly.  In addition to signing the online petition, direct letter-writing campaigns to our Senators and Representatives are also encouraged.
