We need to start lobbying these groups for a Ron Paul endorsement. I just e-mailed catholic.org to mention Ron Paul (they interviewed Mike Huckabee).

From the Mike Huckabee interview: "s a Catholic, I know that a growing number of people like me, who consider ourselves to be whole life/pro-life, pro-marriage and family, pro-poor, pro-freedom and pro-peace, (and therefore do not like the prevailing labels), are greatly interested in your positions."

Catholic.org: colirf@catholic.org

And priests for life: mail@priestsforlife.org

The Pope recently called for an end to the war in Iraq.

Here are the questions they asked Huckabee:

QUESTION: What do you think is the biggest challenge facing America today?

What is your position on the dignity of every human life from conception to natural death and the fundamental right to life?

How have you lived that commitment personally, as well as in your years of public service as an elected official?

What have you done to build a new culture of life and defend the right to life against the encroachment of what the late Pope John Paul II rightly called a culture of death?

Because of our obligation to respect the good of life and our obligation to hear the cry of the poor, what is your plan to help us as a Nation ensure the availability of health insurance coverage for all Americans, including the poor?

Many Catholics opposed the initial decision to enter Iraq, not believing it fit a "just war" analysis. However, most now agree that we have an obligation to do what is right for the struggling people of that Nation and to support our troops. What are your thoughts on the way forward in Iraq?

What would you do to protect and defend marriage and the family founded upon it as the first institution of society?

How would you expand participation in the great promise, opportunity and bounty of America to those less fortunate?

Catholics believe that parents are the first teachers of their children and that they should be able to choose how to extend their own teaching office from among all of the available alternatives; public schools, charter schools, private and parochial schools and home schools. What is your position on parental choice in education?

Another Governor from Arkansas - who became President - reminded us during his campaign that, "It's the economy, stupid." What are your plans to improve the economy and expand participation in the market economy to more and more Americans?

Are you in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants?

What will be your position with regard to the growing threat of extremist acts of terrorism at home and abroad?
