We are grateful to God for this Easter blessing! This victory would not have been possible without the concerted efforts of many organizations and people, including the thousands of people like you who wrote to their State Senators through the Catholic Action Network to let them know how strongly they feel about this issue. Together, we truly can -- and did -- make a difference. Thank you. Know that this issue may become active once more in the final months of this legislative session (May, June). Standby; we may be calling on you again soon.
