As I wrote in the previous post, RealCatholicBlog.com shares with us the latest videos from CatholicVote.org, further establishing its reputation for powerfully produced election year videos designed to make people think and properly inform themselves with the knowledge to perform their call to citizenship, and vote for candidates willing to uphold God’s ordained institutions, such as life and marriage. Although geared to Catholics, the videos, especially the one below (“We Are The Catholic Vote”) appeals to the universal truth that all life is precious and must be protected, particularly the unborn.

By the way, American Papist blogger extraordinaire Thomas Peters, who merged his site with CatholicVote.org, predicts Republican Keith Fimian to win Virginia’s 11th Congressional district race. It’ll be close as will all of Virginia’s hotly contested races. Enough reasons to vote and get others to, as well. We highly recommend the video below and encourage you to distribute it to those people who otherwise may sit out tomorrow.

We are the pro-life vote.

In 2008, CatholicVote.org created one of the most powerful campaign videos in this new Internet age we live in. In music and video, it dramatically showed why we needed to vote (see here) and it has been viewed by 3 million people. It also produced a broader, ecumenical companion video, every bit as vividly thought provoking (see here).

This year, as our friends at RealCatholicBlog.com show us, CatholicVote.org has produced two more dynamite videos. Although geared toward Catholics, the themes of the videos are universal — especially the ideas of not trusting demagoguery and vague rhetoric, such as “hope” and “change” (“High Stakes,” below), as well as the paramount issue of protecting innocent life, especially the unborn (see John Mallon at CatholicVote.org’s blog). They should appeal to all people who believe in and/or respect our Judeo-Christian, traditional values. We highly recommend them and encourage you to distribute this link to anyone you think needs encouragement to vote tomorrow.

Satisfied with your change?

Is it not ironic that secular progressives, who celebrated one of their high holy days this week (Earth Day), are so concerned with “saving the Earth” that they seemingly have forgotten that in order to “save the Earth” we first need to save human life? However, there is an organization that has taken a bold step to sound the reminder.

CatholicVote.org has undertaken a clever media campaign to remind us Earthlings what the true precious gift of God’s life is. It has purchased busboards in several major markets promoting Life. It followed that up with a video of people’s reactions (see it at RealCatholicBlog.com). It’s very promising to hear the comments of approval, both of the tactics and the message. It shows that Americans can and will wake up to the true preciousness of Life when the message is unfiltered from political pollution and seen in the pure state of grace and priority in which it is given to us from our Creator.

The real meaning of Earth Day.
