Dear Friend of CV, 

That's right, Kathleen Sebelius ignored us. 

President Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services announced this week that despite the protests of millions of Americans (including tens of thousands of CV members), birth control must be covered for FREE by nearly every health insurance plan in America. 

That's right. The Obama administration now considers the birth of a child "preventative care" -- akin to care to avoid illnesses. In fact, Sec. Sebelius defended the new mandates saying: "Not doing it would be like not covering flu shots." 

This means that starting January 1, 2013, nearly every health insurance plan will be forced to cover birth control, sterilizations, and Ella and Plan B (both of which kill a child before he or she can implant in their mothers womb). 

All of this will be subsidized by you or anyone who has health insurance. And all of this will be available free, without even a co-pay. 

This decision by the Obama administration is nothing but a federally-mandated handout to the monstrous abortion industry. In fact, NARAL called this "the biggest victory for women's health in a generation." 

But it gets worse. In an effort to keep us quiet, Sebelius and HHS allowed for a so-called "religious exemption" -- that honestly is an insult. 

Cardinal Daniel DiNardo explained: 

"Under the new rule our institutions would be free to act in accord with Catholic teaching on life and procreation only if they were to stop hiring and serving non-Catholics. (emphasis added)

"Could the federal government possibly intend to pressure Catholic institutions to cease providing health care, education and charitable services to the general public?"

Catholic organizations that serve the sick and the poor have always opened their doors to persons of all faith or no faith. But under this new rule, if a Catholic institution employs, or cares for a non-Catholic, they will not qualify for the exemption. 

In essence, the Obama administration is saying: "Catholics must subsidize birth control, abortions and sterilizations or stop practicing their faith." This is outrageous. 

Full Court Press 

You and I petitioned the Obama administration to stop this mandate and they ignored us, plain and simple. So what now? 

CV Civic Action is organized to mobilize Catholic voters across the country to petition Congress and the White House. Our aim is to organize Catholics in such a way where our voice will be more powerful when acting together than acting alone. 

But we don't stop there. 

When laws or regulations such as this new mandate are forced upon us, we have more options. The CV Legal Fund is set up to fund expert attorneys to challenge unjust and unconstitutional mandates such as this. We are already exploring the legal options available to fight this new mandate in court. 

Finally, we live in a republic. And this remains the most important option available to us -- the ballot box. If you don't like the persons passing laws or (in this case) mandating new regulations, then you elect new people to Congress or you elect a new President. That's why we established the CatholicVote SuperPAC.

We can't reveal everything we are working on right now, but I want you to know that we are laying the groundwork for an explosive campaign effort in 2012. 

You can help us prepare for 2012 right now by telling your friends about our mission to educate and mobilize the Catholic vote. Visit http://catholicvote.org/index.php?/invite_others and connect your friends to the CatholicVote movement. 

The Obama administration may have ignored us again. But very soon they will learn that ignoring the Catholic vote has consequences. 

Sincerely, 

Brian Burch, President
