As a Catholic myself, I do not believe in”staying out of it.” And I will not – do nothing.

This is what is needed to help our fellow man.
To be involved, to assist. To do the hard work of politics. To have a backbone when others try to foist what you know is wrong upon all of the rest.

I have read closely the circumstances surrounding Minnesota’s race between Coleman and Franken. And I am appalled at not just the outcome, but the “lessons learned” by Coleman’s opposition concerning how to recount. Coleman’s group failed him by not doing the same. They just didn’t fight hard enough.

They tell me that for them to vote is for them to dirty their hands if the pol turns out to be a crook.
We must show them that all it takes for evil men to win is for good men to do nothing.
We have several examples right now. If Coleman had won, Sotomayor could have been filabustered. her vote on hte court will not be based on constitutional grounds, we have already seen that in her time on the apellate bench.
Every minor victory has consequences that are far reaching.
Good people in Minnesota stood by while an election was stolen. It had national consequences.
