Hey Guys,
I just recieved a commission from a friend of mine to work on a political ad (I’m a Cartoonist by trade but I’ve never done political stuff, and I am pretty ignorant of politics that don’t involve abortion, the HHS mandate or other religious issues). It seems to be poking fun at politicians who support obamacare and it depicts them as “Stealing” Christmas. I have never cared for negative political ads myself, but if I was running for office I would want to treat others the way I would want to be treated, and that would involve representing my opponent with charity.

I am wondering if I should take the job and I need to decide soon. I thank you all for your help.
 
May the Lord guide you.
If it is to accept this commission God grant you do so with gentle humor and wisdom, yet without ridicule or vilification.
 
Research how Obamacare has impacted the Church, and then perhaps you’d be able to accept this job!

😉
 
I don’t know. Seems running for political office this day, there’s a lot of satire and such, that it also comes with the territory to some degree.
 
You can make it to Mass on Sundays, and you aren’t supporting an intrinsic evil. Go for it!

Praying to St. Joseph and the Holy Spirit for you.
 
Bdonoho, especially in this case, since Obamacare has been so hard on the Church, it probably would be acceptable. If I were in your position, I think I could do it. In fact, I think it’d be sort of like helping the Church, actually.

You’d have to come about it from the right angle so it is with your morality. Research Obamacare. Look at his ads.
 
If it’d make you feel any better, talk to a priest before you make this decisión. All I know is when I lived in the US, churches were VERY involved in elections. The churches I saw all were rooting for the other candidate to get it, did NOT want Obamacare.

In fact, if you talked to a priest, he’d probably give you his blessing!

😉

Go for it!

👍

Dont sabotoge yourself. You can do a politician cartoon that does not go over the line. You should like me a little. I would ask the same question. I too am a Cartoonist but have not gotten very far with it. Blessings to you. I would love to see your work.
 
Dear Lord,

It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword.
Please grant your servant Bdonoho
the ability to defend the culture of life
in the spiritual battle
with the talents You gave Bdonoho
as a cartoonist.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Whichever path you choose to do, stay true to who you are and your beliefs and continue to grow closer to God as He will love you regardless

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you!🙂
