Catholics Against Kerry Launch New Radio Ads

While the efforts of the Swift Boat Veterans have captured the attention of the media, Catholics Against Kerry is also planning a major ad campaign highlighting Kerry's problems with the Catholic Church.

A new radio ad aimed at Catholic voters in swing-state Pennsylvania is sure to have a major impact.

Michael V. Pearce, Public Relation's coordinator for Catholics Against Kerry, said in a press release Sunday, "Pennsylvania is a key battleground state, and the fact that one-third of its population is Catholic makes it an essential audience for our message."

The campign highlights some major problems John Kerry will have with Catholic voters:

According to Pearce, "Senator Kerry's very first speech in the US Senate, when he pledged his unwavering support for the abortion industry, made it clear that he does not accept the most fundamental Catholic value; protecting innocent human life."

Pearce went on to say that "John Kerry has recklessly voted in opposition to even the most limited forms of restrictions on abortions, including partial birth abortion. He has vigorously opposed any effort to protect traditional marriage by voting against the Defense of Marriage Act and urging his constituents in the state of Massachusetts not to support an effort to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman in the state constitution."

"Additionally, Senator Kerry has exploited the Catholic Church by staging a series photo-ops on Church grounds intended to give the false impression that he supports Catholic values," continued Pearce.

The text of the commercial is as follows:

Voice 1: catholicsagainstkerry.com

Voice 2: John Kerry's very first Senate speech was a pledge to support abortion.

Voice 3: He even stopped campaigning to vote for the most grizzly partial birth abortion and against Lacy's Law to punish the murder of unborn babies.

Voice 1: catholicsagainstkerry.com needs your help.

Voice 2: Twice Kerry sponsored bills to force Catholic hospitals to provide condoms to their employees.

Voice 3: Now, Kerry says he believes life begins at conception. We don't believe him. Do you?

Voice 1: Catholicsagainstkerry.com needs your help

Voice 2: The Communist party USA, godlessamericans.org

Voice 3: The abortion industry; all endorse Kerry. Not George Bush.

Voice 2: Who do you endorse?

Voice 1: Paid for by Vote Catholic, with help from Catholics like you. Not affiliated with any candidate. Please donate to our site. Don't let them take us off the air! Catholicsagainstkerry.com

I'm sure there will be a counter-ad by the Kerry camp claiming that Kerry was in the garden and tried to fight off the Roman soldiers. That's where he got his first war wound.

They just requested a new copy of the citation from the Vatican; he lost the previous 48.

Faith in Jesus Christ, who is «the way, the truth, and the life»(Jn 14:6), calls Christians to exert a greater effort in building a culture which, inspired by the Gospel, will reclaim the values and contents of the Catholic Tradition. 
The Participation of Catholics in Political Life

In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

I am convinced it is a mortal sin to vote for or campaign for Kerry.

Your mileage may vary.

Kerry doesn't have a 'prayer' of pulling this off, I saw another group today with an ad for the soldier's, he cannot win!
