Bishop Thomas Paprocki
Recently, Rightwingwatch.org posted this video of Bishop Thomas John Paprocki (Springfield, Illinois) cautioning Catholic voters to think before they vote.
Two different online news sites copied the Right Wing Watch headline: Catholic bishop: Voting for Obama jeopardizes the ‘eternal salvation of your own soul.’ A third source, examiner.com, took to interpreting it differently with the following headline: More…
Just a friendly public service reminder on behalf of the IRS, taken from the letter below: More…

‘I’ll check that out,’ Schakowsky says at press conference
“In a highly awkward moment, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D.-Ill.) said that she was “unaware” that the preventive services regulation that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has issued under the Obamacare law offers free sterilizations to teenage girls” More…
These young people may be too young to vote, but their rights are still protected under the Constitution. Hear what they have to say. Then, help them to defend their freedom, and yours, with your vote on November 6.
