The fundraising dinner scheduled for this Saturday at St. Anthony’s

Parish should be relocated or cancelled. The reason is the scandal

and division that this event is generating.

Representatives Driscoll and Duplessie are hosting this event, and

both have 100 percent pro-abortion voting records in Augusta. The teaching of the Roman Catholic Church is firmly against abortion. Driscoll and Duplessie should not seek favor with Catholic voters while continuing to vote against very reasonable abortion restrictions such as parental notification for underage girls. (House Roll Call 281, 7 June 2005)

Driscoll and Duplessie know that having their name on this event

creates dissention within St. Anthony’s. They could not resist the

attraction of positive PR for themselves. If they truly care most

about charity for the poor, why are their names so prominently

displayed on the flyers sent home in our children’s school bags last

Thursday?

Using a place of worship to polish their image and mislead Catholics

is extremely offensive. Adding further insult is the fact that

Westbrook’s school children were used to carry home the flyers for

this event. Driscoll and Duplessie vote to kill unborn children, then

use the children who do survive the womb to carry their political

propaganda.

How cynical.
