CCHD And Planned Parenthood - Both With Ties To SEIU

Planned Parenthood and the Service Employees' International Union have some interesting ties.  For instance, PP of Oregon voted to unionize under SEIU.  That article intimates that other PP affiliates may consider unionizing with the SEIU.  One might wonder why Planned Parenthood employees might be motivated to unionize.  There have been no scandalous complaints regarding wages or other such matters (at least, none that have been allowed to make the news).  Another tie between the two organizations might explain matters a bit.  Kirk Adams, SEIU's International Executive Vice President and Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, are husband and wife.

Prior to her tenure at Planned Parenthood, Richards was president of America Votes, a coalition of progressive organizations to elect progressive candidates (including the Messiah Most Miserable).  Andy Stern, a past president of SEIU, was a driving force behind its founding.  That's another significant SEIU/Planned Parenthood tie.  I'd like to point out now that while he was at SEIU, Stern had an assistant named Tom Chabolla.  He still serves in that capacity to the current SEIU president.


John Sweeney, Oct 2008



Here is a sketch of Kirk Adam's professional career.  As you read it, you'll notice that he went back and forth between SEIU and the AFL-CIO.  Someone else did that, too.  Remember John Sweeney?  He was president of SEIU, then moved on to be president of the AFL-CIO.  He's also quite chummy with Cardinal McCarrick of Washington, DC.  In 2002, Sweeney and his wife, along with the Cardinal, were co-chairs at the annual Catholic Charities gala.  Several months later, Cardinal McCarrick honored Sweeney at a Mass at St Mary's Church in DC, just outside Chinatown.  Because Sweeney supported abortion and gay rights, I led pickets of both events.   Last February, Sweeney received the Medal of Freedom from the Messiah Most Miserable himself.  Perhaps the picture of Sweeney to the right sheds some light as to why Obama might have been so inclined to honor Sweeney.

So what does this have to do with the Catholic Church?  More than one might think.  For instance, prior to his present position, Chabolla served as Associate Director of Programs for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.  John Sweeney is a consultant for the USCCB's Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, which oversees the CCHD.

So the CCHD seems to have in common with Planned Parenthood a purpose to further the leftist aims of the SEIU, AFL-CIO and other organizations: aims to normalize baby-murder, sodomy, and the usurpation of God's role in our lives by an increasingly atheistic government. 

Please consider these reasons sufficient to boycott your next CCHD collection.

Catholic Investigative Agency - Part 2

A few months ago, I published a link to a special series done by Real Catholic TV, called "Catholic Investigative Agency".  A new installment is now available.  Since it's too long for youtube, it needs to be viewd on their site at this link.  It is approximately 90 minutes long, but well worth the time investment.

In this segment, Michael Voris explores the deliberate attempts of the progressive types to further infiltrate the Catholic Church for the express purpose of compromising and watering down her teachings on morals.  Note carefully a few things:

• Voris points out that Catholic moral teaching, as found in all Papal documents from Leo XIII onward, makes clear that the focus is on the individual and not some "collective".  I'll elaborate more on that later - but let's note the fact that we're now in the Independence Day weekend.  The two are related.
• He delves a bit into the backgrounds of the founders of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG).  I've blogged a bit on this problematic outfit.  Despite their claims of "non-partisanship", they are very "partisan", as in the "Party of Death" (Archbishop Burke's very accurate term for the Democrats).
• He delves into the writings of CACG's chairman, Alfred M. Rotondaro.  I went to the newsmeat website and found his campaign contributions.  See for yourself here.  Recipients include Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Patrick Leahy, Bob Casey Jr., Mary Landrieu, John Edwards - the usual cabal.  Here is a link pertaining to the article about which Voris spoke, and here's the link to the orginal Huffington Post article.
• A founder of CACG is Tom Periello, a pro-abort congressperson from Virginia (oh, I forgot!  Rotondaro contributed to him, too).  Guess how he voted on the Obama Hell Bill?
• Another board member is Tom Chabolla.  Does that name sound familiar?  Reminder - he's high up in the SEIU.  That's the union that supplied many of the thugs that trampled all over the private property of the Bank of America official, terrorizing the minor child.  I guess that's their version of "the common good".
• A major funder is (surprise!) George Soros.  He funded a lot of the legal push, if you recall, to further the legalized murder of Terri Schiavo.  He wrote a book called The Age of Fallibility, in which he said, "the main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States".  I suppose we could get the book, but really - he shouldn't get any more royalties from that crap.
• As I said in the first bullet, we celebrate this weekend the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  This document, along with the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, focus on the rights of the individual person as being bestowed upon him/her by God.  We see in this current administration, headed by the Messiah Most Miserable, a push towards subsuming the individual into a "collective".  I'd recommend a book that delves much into that, along with the psychologicial anomalies that warp common sense into a "progressive" mentality.  The book is: The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Lyle H Rossiter, Jr, M.D.  I got mine from Worldnet Daily, but I'm sure it can be acquired elsewhere.

SEIU - Our Heroes! NOT!!!

NOTE - This is a long read, but it is important that you read this to the end.  It is of particular relevance to those living in Montgomery County, MD and to those who are partaking of "social justice" projects of the Archdiocese of Washington, particularly of Just Faith.

When I downloaded the cartoon to the left, I thought it a bit farcical, although the SEIU did display some hints of anti-social behavior at some tea parties and town halls during this past year.

Silly me!  It turns out that the cartoon is really all-too-accurate in depicting the sentiments and actions of these thugs.  On May 16th, the SEIU brought 14 busloads of protestors to the home of Greg Baer, deputy general counsel for corporate law for Bank of America.  They were joined by an outfit called National Political Action that hails from Chicago (kinda makes sense, doesn't it?).  Over 500 of these individuals protested at Baer's home.

Did they confine themselves to the sidewalk?  No!  They were all over his front lawn and even went onto the front porch!  Boys and girls, can we all say "trespassing on private property"?  The only one home at the time was Baer's 14-year-old son.  Needless to say, the poor kid was frightened out of his wits.  Nina Easton is a neighbor of Baer's and a columnist.  She had much to say about the travesty.  As you read her column, take a look at the photo.  Click "read more" for more crucial details.

Yet Another USCCB-CCC Tie!

We've seen lately how the USCCB and its liberal cohorts are trying to tap-dance and belittle the significance of the John Carr situation.  Now Lifesitenews has uncovered yet another CCHD official who is also a CCC official.  Actually, he is a former CCHD associate director, and his name is Tom Chabolla.  In the words of Lifesitenews, "Chabolla joined the board of CCC in 2006, and continues now as a board member. He worked for CCHD until 2008 and now serves as Assistant to the President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But he has stayed on with the CCHD, now serving as a “lay consultant” to the bishops' CCHD subcommittee, which oversees the organization."

Now think about that revelation.  From 2006 to 2008, Chabolla occupied high positions in CCHD and CCC at the same time.  He remains with CCC and is now a "lay consultant" to CCHD, meaning he continues to wield influence in both organizations.  Also, for good measure, he occupies an influential role in the SEIU (the townhall thugs!).

The Lifesitenews article mentions that Chabolla is a member of Facebook's group called, "I bet we can find 1,000,000 people who support same sex marriage."  This same fellow is currently a lay consultant to the CCHD!  Read the article for more troubling news about CCC and its advocacy projects.
