Coming next month Your October publication from CTA will
be the acclaimed Election Chart from NETWORK in Washington. The 33” x
21” chart gives
in-depth, factual, non-partisan information about candidates Bush
and Chaney, Gore and Lieberman, compares their positions on a whole range of
key issues, such as minimum wage, health care, affordable housing, and debt
forgiveness, and analyzes the same issues from the perspective of Catholic
Social Teaching. It’s a long tradition: NETWORK and Church Women United
produce the chart in every presidential election year, and CTA transmits a copy
to every CTA member in October.
For additional copies, contact NETWORK's Ann Dunn: 202 547-5556, ext. 10, or adunn@networklobby.org
NETWORK staff will also present a daylong seminar Friday, Nov. 3 at CTA Conference: “After the Election, Then What?” — and Saturday workshops in the same vein.

Catholic Voters,” which will appear in the N.Y. Times during October,
listing thousands of signers. The text insists that no single issue, including
abortion, dominates our choices as Catholic voters, and states Catholic Social
Teaching and Gospel-based positions on many issues, from social security and
campaign finance reform to drug policy, arms control and military spending.
