Submitted by msell on Fri, 02/26/2016 - 15:36 ISSUE SUMMARY: Christian bakers, photographers, and wedding service providers are being fined by the courts and even threatened with imprisonment for refusing to participate in same-sex wedding ceremonies. These Christian businesses cite the Bible's moral teachings that homosexual conduct is a sin and the Christian definition of marriage that can only be "a union between one man and one woman." The Mayor of Houston, Texas, subpoenaed the sermons of Houston pastors to see if these pastors might be teaching that homosexual conduct is a sin. QUESTION #1: Do you agree with CatholicVote that President Obama, his administration, and the secular Left are trying to eliminate every last trace of Christian influence from American public life? yes No Not Sure Other QUESTION #2: What's your reaction to the fact that Christian bakers in Portland, Oregon, were fined $135,000 for refusing to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony? Outrage Dismay I support this fine. No opinion QUESTION #3: Do you think this $135,000 fine is an assault on the Constitution's First Amendment protections for freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, and freedom of association for these Christian bakers? yes No No Opinion QUESTION #4: How concerned are you that Christianity (which includes Christian moral teachings) is quickly becoming criminalized in America? Very Concerned Concerned Not Concerned I support outlawing Christianity. ISSUE SUMMARY: Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is telling Christians that "deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed." In other words, she is saying Christians need to change their beliefs to agree with same-sex "marriage" and abortion-on-demand (including partial-birth abortion) and even threatens saying "Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will" [against those who subscribe to Christian moral beliefs.]QUESTION #5: What's your opinion of the fact that Hillary Clinton says she wants to use the full force of government to change the beliefs of Christians to conform with support of same-sex "marriage" and support for abortion-on-demand? q5 Outrageous Frightening Concern I support Hillary's Call for Criminalizing Moral Teachings Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has become the most powerful arm of government, especially with the four radical Justices on the court who make up their own laws out of thin air instead of following the Constitution and laws Congress passes. For example, the court in 2016 declared same-sex "marriage" to be a fundamental Constitutional right, when no such right exists in the Constitution. Whoever is elected President in 2016 is likely to have three new Supreme Court appointments and will set the direction of the court for generations. QUESTION #6: How important do you think it is who we elect as the next President of the United States? Very Important Important Not Important No Opinion ISSUE SUMMARY: CatholicVote believes 2016 is probably the most important election of our lifetime because this is the election that will decide whether America survives as the "land of the free" and as "One Nation Under God"…or whether we can revive the moral and religious values and beliefs that made America great. QUESTION #7: How strongly do you agree or disagree with this assessment by CatholicVote? Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree No Opinion QUESTION #8: Are you currently registered to vote? Yes No If "No," would you like CatholicVote to send you a Voter Registration kit? Yes No QUESTION #9: Will you solemnly pledge right now to vote in the 2016 Elections?

Yes No QUESTION #11 [OPTIONAL]: If you were voting right now, who would be your choices for President among the candidates now running? First Choice Second Choice Third Choice QUESTION #12: Please indicate your level of support for or opposition to the following CatholicVote programs aimed at mobilizing tens of millions of pro-life, pro-family Christians to vote in record-breaking numbers in the 2016 Elections . . . so we can save America from being destroyed forever by the anti-God, anti-freedom Left: a) Register 3,000,000 brand new pro-life, pro-family Christians to vote in the key battleground states that will decide the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Elections.

No, because I don't really care much about elections or who is elected President. First Name Last Name Zip Code Email *
