The Catholic vote is the swing vote in Presidential Elections. That is, whichever Presidential candidate wins the Catholic vote almost always wins the White House.

So you can be certain this enormous survey of 10,000,000 Catholic voters will be studied carefully by members of Congress, 2016 Presidential candidates, and elected officials.

You can also expect the results of this survey to receive wide media coverage.

The 2016 Presidential Election is likely our last chance to save America as the “land of the free” for your children and grandchildren.

CatholicVote is most focused on 12 battleground states that will decide whether America can be saved…or whether our government will continue its current assault on religious liberty, the family, and the moral values that made America great.

We will also be using the information we collect from this survey to . . .

  1. Help us identify who is registered and who is not registered to vote for the all-important 2016 Presidential Election Year; With your help, we aim to register 3,000,000 brand new pro-life, pro-family Catholics to vote in the 12 battleground states before the 2016 Elections . . . and then make sure they actually vote on Election Day;
  2. Help target our voter education, registration, and turnout operation resources to maximize impact; and
  3. Show America’s elected officials (including members of Congress and 2016 candidates for President and Congress) that Americans wants an end to our government’s assault on religious liberty, the family, and the moral values that built America.
The completion of this survey (and the information it will give us) will help CatholicVote generate a record-breaking turnout of informed pro life, pro-family Catholic voters for the 2016 Presidential Elections – especially in the 12 key battleground states.

#3: Reducing government’s involvement in my life.

#4: Ending our government’s assault on religious liberty.

Part C: Our Government’s Assault on Religious Liberty and Christianity

Question #1: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional to be said in public schools because it contains the phrase “One Nation Under God.” What’s your view of this ruling?

ISSUE SUMMARY: Tennessee high school student Kendra Turner was suspended from school for saying “Bless You” after a classmate sneezed. Her teacher had included “Bless You” in a list of banned phrases from the school, saying that phrase is for church.

Question #2: What is your reaction to the news that a high school student was suspended
for saying “Bless You” after a classmate sneezed?

Question #3: Do you think a strong bias against the free exercise of religion has developed throughout our governing institutions, schools, and culture?

ISSUE SUMMARY: Ever since the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex “marriage” is a Constitutional right, the government has been cracking down on Christians who disagree with same-sex “marriage.” A Christian photographer has been fined in New Mexico for declining to participate in a gay-marriage ceremony, a penalty upheld by the New Mexico Supreme Court. In Oregon, a Christian couple who own a bakery were ordered by a judge to bake cakes for same-sex wedding ceremonies or face fines of up to $150,000 and even imprisonment. The same thing happened to a baker in Colorado.

Question #4: Do you think Christians should be forced by law to participate in same-sex wedding ceremonies? Or do you think it violates the First Amendment to the Constitution’s protections for religious freedom and freedom of association to force Christians to participate in same-sex weddings?

ISSUE SUMMARY: The ACLU and other organizations hostile to religious liberty have been leading a campaign in the courts for decades to outlaw religious symbols, displays, and quotations from American public life.

Question #5: What do you think is the true agenda behind the ACLU’s efforts to erase every last trace of America’s Christian heritage from American public life?

Question #6: In recent years, the ACLU and other groups hostile to religious liberty have focused on erasing Easter and Christmas from America’s national calendar. What do you think the long-term consequence for America will be?

ISSUE SUMMARY: In the battle over whether Christmas should continue to be a national holiday in America, FOX News Commentator Bill O’Reilly summarized the stakes in this way:

“The importance of the Christmas controversy is that it has become the centerpiece of the culture war between traditional Americans and secular progressives. Outside of the war on terror, this culture war is the most important thing happening in the country today.”

Question #7: What is your level of agreement or disagreement with this statement by Bill O’Reilly?

ISSUE SUMMARY: America’s founding document – our Declaration of Independence adopted on July 4, 1776 – states as follows:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

In other words, America’s founders believed our freedoms are granted by God, not government, and that the primary role of government (as our U.S. Constitution states) is to “secure the blessings of liberty.” This idea allowed America to quickly become the freest, most prosperous nation in history.

Question #8: How strongly do you agree or disagree with this founding principle of our nation?

Question #9: If Hillary Clinton is elected President, do you think our government’s assault on religious liberty and our values is more likely to increase, decrease, or stay about the same as it is now?

Part D: Your Opinion of ObamaCare

Question #1: What is your opinion of the fact that ObamaCare is paying for abortions, even partial-birth abortions?

Question #2: What is your opinion of the fact that ObamaCare requires Americans – including pro-life Americans – to purchase health insurance that includes coverage for abortion?

Question #3: What is your opinion of the fact that the Obama White House is now fighting the Little Sisters of the Poor in federal court to force the Little Sisters to purchase health insurance that includes abortion and contraception?

Question #4: How supportive are you of CatholicVote’s decision to come to the legal
defense of the Little Sisters of the Poor in federal court in defense of their religious liberty?

Question #5: What is your opinion of the fact that ObamaCare bureaucrats are using their power to try to pressure pro-life doctors and hospitals to perform abortions if they are to continue practicing medicine?

Question #6: Do you think ObamaCare is more about providing affordable health care to all Americans, as President Obama claims? Or do you think ObamaCare is more of a weapon he and radical anti-family, anti-life politicians are using to attack America’s moral and religious heritage?

Question #7: What would you like to see happen with ObamaCare?

Part E: Your Role in Helping to Save America

Question #1: Did you vote in the 2012 Presidential Election?

Question #2: Did you vote in the 2014 mid-term Congressional Elections?

Question #3: Are you currently registered to vote?

If your answer is “No,” would you like CatholicVote to send you a Voter Registration Kit?

Question #4: Will you solemnly pledge right now to vote in 2016 if you are physically able to do so?

Question #5: Will you also pledge to try to bring at least three like-minded friends with you to
vote in 2016 who might otherwise not vote, or take steps to make sure they vote?

Question #6: What other America-saving volunteer activities listed below might you be willing to do to help ensure victory for your values in 2016? (Mark as many answers that apply to you.)
