United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Stop Abortion Funding in Health Care Reform/Protect Conscience/Ensure Affordable Health Care Coverage

By this time we hope you had a chance to read the special insert that was in the bulletin from the United States Bishops’ Conference. The bishops are asking you to please contact your congressional representatives immediately regarding health care reform. These web addresses, www.house.gov or www.senate.gov allow you to send an email message to Congress with a click of a button. The bishops have asked for our swift action and our prayers. Thank you for your help. We can help make sure that health care reform protects the lives, dignity,conscience and health of all.
