Your Voice Matters at the Connecticut General Assembly

[elts1956]

NOTE TO ALL WHO LIVE IN CONNECTICUT

I received this email from Senator Michael Mclachlan of Connecticut.

I will not support Senate Bill 1098 as this is clearly an example of government interference with the Roman Catholic Church. The proponents of Senate Bill 1098 and co-chairs of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Andrew McDonald and Representative Michael Lawlor, have demonstrated disdain for the priests, pastors and bishops of the Church for their opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

You may want to consider some or all of the following additional steps to convey your message to legislators:

You may testify in-person at the Judiciary Committee public hearing on SB1098 scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at Noon at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

You can find testimony guidelines at the following webpage:

cga.ct.gov/asp/Content/YourVoice.asp

You may attend the public hearing to lend support for your fellow Catholics testifying in opposition to the bill.

You may also address written testimony to:

Honorable Members of the Joint Committee on Judiciary
Room 2500, Legislative Office Building
Hartford, CT 06106

You may call the Joint Committee on Judiciary at (860) 240-0530 during normal business hours and leave a message for the Committee Co-Chairs – Senator Andrew McDonald and Representative Michael Lawlor – expressing your opposition to their proposed bill 1098.

You may locate your Senator and Representative at the following address:

Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. I encourage you to contact me again with any future concerns or comments.

Regards,

Michael A. McLachlan
State Senator - 24th District
Serving Danbury, Bethel, New Fairfield & Sherman
Legislative Office Building #2203
Hartford, CT 06106
Office (860) 240-0068

I think Catholics all across the country should pay careful attention and express their opinion on this. If Connecticut gets away with this, how long until other states, particularly California, try to pull this stunt?

Absolutely. This is why I posted this. I am aghast at the inroads anti life forces are making against the Catholic Church. I have seen no other threats against denominations that are non Catholic. Hopefully, if we can make the agression being shown against the Church made known, other faiths will know they are due for the same treatment and will be forced to either obey the laws set in motion in these times, or they must have the courage to resist.

See my post in the thread: “Bridgeport Connecticut needs our help in fighting a bigoted bill”. Another step at total bondage of the American people.
