Dear
Fellow in Christ,
You probably think you've never given money to
ACORN and its allies. But if you're contributing to the annual
November Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) appeal of
the Catholic bishops, you're doing just that.
Be on the lookout for the Diocese to hold the
CCHD drive at another time of the year like LaCrosse and Milwaukee
do....and they may give it a different name....something like
"Combined Collection."
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops asks
Catholics across the United States to contribute to the CCHD. Until
just two years ago, much of this money collected by the bishops'
appeal was funneled directly to ACORN.
Are you going to let the bishops use
your contributions - money that's intended for charity -
to promote extreme left-wing causes such as
taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand?
Or are you
going to take the ACTION STEPS listed below, to stop charity money
from being diverted into causes you (and most Catholics) find
abhorrent?
Scandals have forced the bishops to stop
funding ACORN directly, but they still fund
other groups closely tied to ACORN - groups that have the
same aims and that use the same methods to promote a left-wing,
extremist agenda.
Catholics are led to
believe that their contributions to CCHD are used to help the poor
- funding soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and other worthwhile
projects that provide aid to the least fortunate among us.
In fact, it appears
almost none of the money goes to the poor. Rather, it goes to
organizations that engage in "community organizing" to promote a
political agenda that many Catholics would find abhorrent, if only
they knew.
CCHD's stated goal is "breaking the cycle of poverty," but CCHD-funding organizations support policies that make it next to impossible for the poor to escape their circumstances.
It's time for America's Catholics to rise up,
let their voices be heard, and take the ACTION STEPS listed below.
ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now) received some $7.3 million from the CCHD in 1998-2008,
and even more in earlier years. ACORN's direct funding from
CCHD was cut off in 2008, but only because of an eight-year-old
embezzlement scandal that made it impossible to get a proper
accounting of the money. It appears that the Bishops' problem was
with ACORN's poor "accounting" practices, rather than with the goals
and tactics of a group that blurs the distinction between a radical
political organization and a Mafia-style racket.
ACORN is currently under investigation or
indictment in 20 states for voter fraud. Its New Orleans
headquarters, in a former funeral home, served as the address of
more than 270 organizations, real or imaginary, most of which have
received taxpayer funds. (Recent legislation makes ACORN and allied
organizations eligible for billions of dollars more from federal,
state, and local governments in the years to come.)
Ralph McCloud, CCHD's executive director,
admitted to the Catholic News Service that "some of the funds that
the Catholic Campaign contributed to ACORN in the past undoubtedly
were used for voter registration drives." Most, perhaps all, of
those drives were conducted in support of politicians who support
abortion-on-demand and other policies that most Catholics oppose.
Don't be
fooled by the CCHD's recent cut-off of direct aid to ACORN. CCHD
continues to fund other organizations that are clones of ACORN or
closely allied with ACORN.

According
to Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center, CCHD money has
funded the 2. Industrial Areas
Foundation (described by its founder as a "school
for professional radicals"), the Midwest Academy (which
trains in left-wing confrontation and intimidation), and other
related organizations such as the Direct Action and Research
Training Institute, People Improving Communities through Organizing
(PICO), and the **Gamaliel Foundation.
The network of organizations funded by
CCHD is rooted not in the principles of Jesus Christ, who eschewed
politics, but in the teachings of a Marxist and atheist,
Saul Alinsky.
Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals,
taught his followers to use what's now called "community organizing"
to reshape American society and, ultimately, to destroy capitalism
and constitutional democracy.
He dedicated his first book to Lucifer, "the
first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment
and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."
Alinsky followers, who dominate Far Left community groups, see the poor as potential soldiers in an army - as cannon fodder for fighting and winning the class struggle. As with other groups of radical activists, from the Ku Klux Klan to the Black Panthers to Al Qaeda, they provide services to the poor only for political purposes. They're not interested in soup kitchens except as recruiting and indoctrination centers.

2. Common Ground
This network of ACORN-type organizations,
funded to a great degree by CCHD, provides money and organizational
muscle for such causes as same-sex marriage, amnesty for illegal
aliens, and abortion-on-demand up to, and shortly after, the moment
of birth. And they provide critical backing for politicians who not
only support such causes, but who are also among some of the biggest
anti-Catholic bigots and opponents of values held by Catholics.
For example, ACORN, funded by CCHD, provided at
least 40,000 voter registrations, both real and fraudulent, in the
U.S. Senate race that Al Franken won by 312 votes. In turn, Franken
provided Senate Democrats with their 60th vote - and the
filibuster-proof majority they need to pass radical pro-abortion
legislation.
That wasn't the first time that CCHD changed
the course of history, shifting it dramatically to the Left.
CCHD money was the foundation for President Obama's political career, his role as a "community organizer" in Chicago. That job - the young Barack Obama's first political job - was as the lead organizer for the Developing Communities Project in Chicago, a project of the Calumet Community Religious Conference, which had been created by local Catholic churches and funded by CCHD. According to The New Republic magazine, the Calumet project "aimed to convert the black churches of Chicago's South Side into agents of social change." (Obama discussed Catholic Church support for Calumet in his book, Dreams from My Father.)
The late
Father Richard John Neuhaus wrote that the CCHD had "nothing to do
with Catholicism, except that Catholics are asked to pay for it.
Some bishops no longer allow the CCHD collection in their dioceses,
and more should not allow it. In fact, CCHD, misbegotten in concept
and corrupt in practice, should, at long last, be terminated."
It's time
to STOP THE BISHOPS FROM FUNDING ACORN-TYPE
GROUPS.
Here are the ACTION STEPS you can take to
stop them.
1. REFUSE to give a single cent to the
bishops' November (& other) appeals.
2.
FORWARD THIS website link and share the
Capital Research Center's CCHD
Analysis with friends, family members, co-workers, and all Catholics
you know. (Even friends who aren't Catholic can help by forwarding
this message to their Catholic friends.)
3.
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PASTOR and/or BISHOP (through a letter,
e-mail, phone call, or personal visit) and tell him that you will
not contribute to any cause that's promoted in the names of the
bishops until they STOP USING CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND LEFT-WING
POLITICS.
Here even people who favor left-wing
CCHD-backed causes should be outraged at the diversion of
contributions - money intended for the poor - into organizations
that use that money to promote their political agendas.
The bishops have broken faith with America's Catholics. As long as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops supports CCHD and raises money from parishioners based on the false pretense that CCHD fights poverty, Catholics and other Americans simply cannot trust the bishops.
support of radical left-wing politics - and
they must do it now!
Summary
Are you going to again let the bishops use your contributions - money that's intended for charity - to promote extreme left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand?
