There has been so much said about her - unqualified intellectually, wouldn't give a straight answer to the Senate Committee, etc.
So, if you are in Maryland, here is your chance to stop an Obama rubber stamp.
Contact Sen. Mikulski: http://mikulski.senate.gov/Contact/contact.cfm
Contact Ben (Sen. Cardin): http://cardin.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm
I know that they will just rubber stamp whatever the Most Merciful, Lord High Barack Obama, leader of THE REGIME wants, but it is always good to get your views down and let them know you don't appreciate their support of her.

FOCA Postcards at your local Parish...
This past weekend, during the announcements, the Celebrant asked each person to complete a set of postal cards dealing with the possible passing of FOCA. There was a card for each US Senator and the US Representative for my parish.
The card states:
At this time of serious national challenges, Americans should unite to serve the good of all, born and unborn. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), the most radical and divisive pro-abortion bill ever introduced into Congress, would create a "fundamental right" to abortion that government could not limit but would have to support. FOCA would overturn many existing widely supported policies, including laws protecting parental involvement and conscience rights and those preventing partial-birth abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion.
Please oppose FOCA or any similar measure, and retain laws against federal funding and promotion of abortion. As your constituent, I would appreciate a written response telling me how you would vote on these matters.
I have nothing wrong with this, and it shows democracy in action. However, in many respects, this is a waste of time and money.
Why?
First, history shows that this is meaningless to Sen. Barbara Mikulski and the Democratic Party as a whole.
About 10 or so years ago, over 250,000 postal cards were delivered to Mikulski and then Sen. Sarbanes about rejection of abortion. There was the photo op of the the Cardinals of Washington and Baltimore and the Bishop or Wilmington with all of the cards on the steps of the capital.
Mikulski and Sarbanes never mentioned it. It was totally ignored.
Second, Sen. Mikulski (who always makes certain to state how she was raised a Catholic) and Cardin are both 100% pro-abortion. The representative for my parish is 100% pro-abortion too. Makes no bones about it.
Third, they know that even with a 100% pro-abortion voting record, it does not matter -- they will be re-elected since Catholics don't vote their faith. Heck, you have members of the Knights supporting pro-abortion politicans and you have the USCCB hiring staffers who support pro-abortion politicans.
Finally, they know, with the Most Merciful, Lord High Barack Obama, Sen. Nancy "the theologian" Pelosi, Harry "the Body" Reid and with complete Democrat control of both Houses, they can and will ignore pro-lifers.
So, I will fill out the cards and send them it. It is a bit of a futile effort but who knows, maybe God will change one of their hearts.
Personally, I believe that the only way you are going to change the laws, is by electing pro-life politicians but when members of our own hierarchy vote for the Most Merciful, Lord High Barack Obama, you are really fighting as the underdog.

MCC and FOCA
The Maryland Catholic Conference (MCC) is attempting to fight the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) by encouraging Maryland residents to write to the sponsors.
According to the MCC:
A radical bill called the “Freedom of Choice Act,” commonly referred to as FOCA, that would eliminate modest regulations on abortion has been introduced in the U.S. Congress and is co-sponsored by Maryland Sens. Barbara Mikulksi and Ben Cardin and Maryland Reps. Dutch Ruppersberger and Chris Van Hollen. The incoming administration previously said it would sign this legislation into law if it is passed by Congress.
It continues to state:
FOCA violates religious freedom because it would not allow Catholic doctors and hospitals to refuse to perform abortions - a fact which would lead Catholic hospitals across the nation to close.
Now, it is good that they are attempting to stop this but I would like to pose an open question to all of the MCC and Archdiocese of Washington DC employees (priests, religous and lay):
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then it is you who have put us in this situation.
Many of us were telling you this but you ignored this fact over an over. You who told us we were "one issue Catholics." You who told us that he ("The Almighty, and Merciful, Lord Barack Obama") would give us hope and bring us the social justice we so despirately needed.
Now, you not only put the employees of Catholic institutions at risk, but the lives of millions of innocent unborn and those who are born who rely on our institutions to assist them at little or no cost.
Nice job.
I hope you are happy.

- How many of you vote for Reps. Dutch Ruppersberger and Chris Van Hollen over the years?
