I don't know how much understanding Catholics have concerning their responsibility of living their faith in their everyday life, as opposed to professing their faith privately. This article clarifies the need to show through our words and actions Whom we follow and what we believe.

    I will continue to fight against all this, of course...no hiding and no retreat for me. It's just that now, without Mr. Santorum, there is nobody worth voting for...if our votes even count in the first place. Mr. Romney? Ha, what a joke. The entire system seems so scripted and rigged.

    Please encourage people to vote for Rick, He is still on the primary ballots and since he has suspended his campaign he is still "in" until he ends it. So he can win more delegates. We are his movement, we are the reason he has done as well as he has. Let's get out the conservative vote in the primaries and make ourselves heard.
