Paul Ryan - Catholic about Birth Control, not so much about 'Those in Need'

Selectively Religious – when you want all the glory with none of the work.

Note from Daily Kos

Anthony, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is perfectly willing to follow the dictates of the Catholic bishops on limiting women’s access to reproductive health care. Funny how he ignores his church when it advises caring for the poor, ending war—and supporting President Obama’s proposed federal budget instead of Ryan’s own “starve the poor, help the wealthy” plan.

Perhaps the architect of the make-poor-people-pay plan hasn’t read the recent guidance from the Conference of Catholic Bishops that “a just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons; it requires shared sacrifice by all, including raising adequate revenues, eliminating unnecessary military and other spending, and addressing the long-term costs of health insurance and retirement programs fairly.”

Let’s remind Paul Ryan of his church’s advice.

Call out Paul Ryan by faxing him a copy of the statement from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops denouncing his budget proposal.

Thousands of faxes will let Ryan and his fellow conservatives know that you can’t hide behind church teachings when it’s in line with conservative thinking and ignore it when it’s not. Voters are keeping track of the hypocrisy.

Please, click here to send a fax to Paul Ryan.

Keep fighting,
