Anderson
Fourth District congressional candidate Jim Anderson could be getting some assistance from a national organization for conservative Catholics.
Catholic Families for America decided to endorse Anderson because he is “the ‘real-deal’ for conservatives: a pro-life, God-fearing businessman who will defend the Constitution,” said Dr. Kevin Roberts, executive director of the Texas-based group.
Roberts said the group is raising funds for voter outreach efforts in 2010, including in the Kansas 4th District.
The open seat has attracted five Republican hopefuls: Anderson, a small-business owner; Wink Hartman, owner of the Hartman Oil Co. and other ventures including the Wichita Wild football team; state Sens. Dick Kelsey, R-Goddard and Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita; and Republican National Committeeman Mike Pompeo.
The Catholic Families group lists among its goals “influenc(ing) public policy by promoting family-friendly policies on every issue from abortion, to education, to the deterioration of the family” and “becom(ing) the largest grassroots organization for Catholics who are tired of liberals hijacking our faith for nefarious ends.”
“Jim (Anderson) really personifies the kind of representative common people need in Washington,” Roberts said.
“He’s running out of a patriotic and Christian duty to be a voice of reason in a capital city run amok in reckless spending and anti-family corruption.”

“a pro-life, God-fearing businessman who will defend the Constitution”
Somebody ought to remind the Catholic Families for America that many of their values direct contradict the Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
Humanists misinterpret the establishment cause to the exclusion of of the 1st admendment and and any discussion of morality, religion, or absolute truth. The establishment clause was created to avoid a theocracy, or any means that a goverment could control it’s people, even through religion. The intent was not to shut out all forms of thought and discussion from the public forum. Revisionist history has tried to purge all vestiges of our Judeo-Christian founding heritage from the record. Even as president, Thomas Jefferson appropriated federal funds to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Indians, and authored several works on Jesus including “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth”. The last thing I want is government to have enough power to under any circumstance to dictate my life, be it religion, healthcare, or education. Let’s not eliminate all thought, be it monotheistic religion or paganism, in the name of tolerance and diversity.
