Friends,
Believe it or not, summer is to be a time of resting and
relaxation! Yet our faith never takes time off. There are a two
important contacts that must be made to our State and Federal
Officials:
1) From the Ohio Catholic Conference regarding the State Budget
Bill that will make cuts in human service programs and programs
to help Ohio students in Catholic schools. Please call or e-mail
your Ohio State Senator and Ohio State Representative before
Tuesday June 30 seeking your opposition to these proposed cuts
from the State Budget. You can read more about it at
www.ohiocathconf.org.
2) To the Federal Government, United States Senate, refusing the
Obama "tax plan" called "Cap and Trade." This legislation will
add thousands of dollars to our energy use. These are
unnecessary cost to families, businesses, farms, charitable
organizations and churches from "a trickle down effect" from
energy companies to you and me. This plan is regarded as a step
toward environmentally friendly energy. This, so called,
clean energy bill narrowly passed the U.S. House of
Representatives and will have an even harder fight in the United
States Senate. Contact our federal leadership in the Senate and
tell them we are opposed to this harmful, hidden tax on
our energy.
