"POPVOX bridges the gap between the input the public wants to provide and the information Members of Congress want and need to receive." 

Read the Bishop's letter to the Diocese. It is available on the Docs page, and with the bulletin for the week of February 5. Then make your voice heard easily and effectively through POPVOX.

POPVOX will enable you to make your voice heard. It's faster and more convenient then writing a letter, and carries more weight then signing some online petition. Sign up and visit the page for  Respect for Rights of Conscience Act 
S. 1467 https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/s1467 in the Senate, and
H.R. 1179 https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/hr1179 in the House of Representatives.

“ ‘Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.’ Therefore, according to the Gospel, any citizen can be a good Catholic – that is, side with Jesus Christ and the Pope, and do good to his fellow men – and at the same time side with Caesar, namely, observe the laws of the land, except when the rulers persecute religion or tyrannize the consciences and minds of citizens.” 
+St. John Bosco
