Kathleen Sebelius to speak at a commencement awards ceremony for the Public Policy Institute at Georgetown University. <BR><BR>The Archdiocese newspaper explained: <BR><BR></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 40px" class=yiv73136370MsoNormal>βOne can only wonder how the selection of Secretary Sebelius for such a prominent role as a featured speaker can be reconciled with the stated Catholic mission and identity of Georgetown University...Secretary Sebelius' vision on what constitutes faith-based institutions presents the most direct challenge to religious freedom in recent history.β <BR><BR></DIV>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=yiv73136370MsoNormal>We agree. <BR><BR>Georgetown's invitation is a slap in the face to our Bishops and to all the Catholic faithful working to overturn the intrusive assault on our religious freedom. <BR><BR>That's why we are calling for unity. <A href="http://email.vervemail.com/ct/25643999:6211636155:m:1:416025976:3877C8C82F3D6DF20ED98903C4FB124C:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank><STRONG>CatholicsForUnity.com</STRONG></A> features our open letter to Georgetown officials, urging them to rescind the invite. <BR><BR><STRONG><A href="http://email.vervemail.com/ct/25643999:6211636155:m:1:416025976:3877C8C82F3D6DF20ED98903C4FB124C:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Please add your name now!

She said those infamous words at a major fundraiser for NARAL, one of the largest and most notorious
pro-abortion lobbying groups. <BR><BR>Make no mistake. Kathleen Sebelius is using every lever of power to promote abortion and to cripple our Church's institutions. Her HHS mandate would bury every Catholic charity, hospital and school β <EM>including Georgetown University</EM> β in an avalanche of fines, if they refuse to comply. <BR><BR>It's already happening. This week Franciscan University of Steubenville announced that they will <A href="http://email.vervemail.com/ct/25644000:6211636155:m:1:416025976:3877C8C82F3D6DF20ED98903C4FB124C:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank>no longer offer</A> a student health insurance plan this fall. <BR><BR>That's why, even on a most basic self-interested level, one wonders why Georgetown would invite the fox into the henhouse. <BR><BR><A href="http://email.vervemail.com/ct/25643999:6211636155:m:1:416025976:3877C8C82F3D6DF20ED98903C4FB124C:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank><STRONG>Please sign and share our Open Letter to
