The debate and decisions on health care reform are reaching decisive moments. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) principals and priorities are outlined in a series of letters to Congress, fact sheets and other materials on the USCCB health care reform website (www.usccb.org/healthcare). USCCB is asking for Catholics to get activated and contact their Congressional representatives. Please see announcement on the Bulletin Board for more details. You can also go to these websites for updates, additional tools and resources: (www.usccb.org/healthcare) and to Glenn Leach (leach@davenportdiocese.org) for local insight and updates within the Social Action Office at the Diocese. Finally, please pray that Congress will act to ensure that needed health care reform will truly protect life, dignity and health care of all and that we will raise our voices to protect the unborn and the most vulnerable and to preserve our freedom of conscience.
