http://www.catholicdemocrats.org/about/ en Copyright 2008 Sat, 14 Oct 2006 13:16:39 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Catholic Democrats is a not-for-profit national organization representing a Catholic voice within the Democratic Party, and a voice for the Democratic Party in the Catholic community. To the Democratic Party, we bring the rich tradition of Catholic Social Teaching and its potential to help solve the broad range of problems confronting all Americans. To the Catholic community, we present the Democratic way of working for justice and peace in the political world. As a national organization and through local chapters, we work with the media and other organizations in advocating the ideals of Catholic Social Teaching and the Democratic Party. During the 2008 election campaign, Catholic Democrats sponsored a vigorous media campaign showing how voting for Barack Obama was consistent with Catholic Social Teaching. It launched catholicsforobama.org and collected thousands of signatures on a petition supporting Barack Obama for president. Its state chapters worked with fellow Democrats to elect Obama and other Democratic candidates. Through the "Issues" section of its website, Catholic Democrats shows how the positions of the Democratic Party are consistent with Catholic Social Teaching. Thorough our "Get Local," we connect Catholic Democrats with our local chapters. We look forward to working with the Obama administration.
