Politics and Christianity: Voting

Priests for Life Announces Voter Registration Sundays

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- On the eve of the first Presidential caucus, Priests for Life announced today that it has designated four Sundays in 2008 as "National Voter Registration Sundays." The organization is urging Churches of every denomination to give the members of their congregations the opportunity to vote by having voter registration forms at Church for people to fill out. The dates chosen are January 20, April 20, June 29, and September 7.

"This is not about partisan politics. This is about involvement as citizens in self-government and involvement as Christians in renewing the culture," explained Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council. "It is completely legal and perfectly appropriate that in the very places where people hear the Word of God telling them to make the world a better place, they be given one of the simplest tools to do that. Unless the Church enables Christians to exercise their citizenship, the Church risks becoming marginalized and irrelevant," Fr. Pavone concluded.

Priests for Life provides basic information on how to conduct Voter Registration Sundays at www.priestsforlife.org/vote. Priests for Life provides additional commentary and resources about exercising citizenship at www.PoliticalResponsibility.org.

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Comment Policy

1. Speak the truth in love
Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.

Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.

2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like
Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.

3. Stay on-topic
What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.

4. No drive-bys
Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.

5. Don't assume too much
Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.

6. Publish your ideas instead
If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.

7. You retort, we decide
There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
