Catholic Church of Mass Uses Fraud To Their Benefit

Fox News did their report on the "bait and switch" tactics used by the signature gatherers paid for by the Mass "Family" Institute. Their report focused on a signature gatherer from Florida who was taught how to "bait and switch" by the company. Fox News set her up in front of a supermarket to show how easy it is to make people sign two petitions without them even knowing what they were signing.

Some people (the same "Christians") would accuse the people who signed the petitions as being at fault because "Hey they didn't look to see what they were signing" However, isn't it the same Christian Right who are all about "trusting" people and trying to look for the "good" in people? About leading by example with high morals? If they think they are right why all the deception?

Fox News interviewed some woman from the Mass "Family" Institute. She was bewildered to know that the company they hired to gather the signatures hired another company who hired another company who hired the workers. MFI's mantra "We were told by several people who used the signature gathering company that they were reputable". Yeah, who told you that, the GOP in Ohio? Apparently the company that Mass Family hired has been dogged all over the country with accusations of fraud, but did the MFI do research on the company they paid thousands of dollars to???? No.

Let me leave you with this question: How disgusting is it that the Catholic Church of Massachusetts and a supposedly family organization (Mass Family Institute) are using fraud to instill discrimination into our constitution? What happened to all the volunteers they said they had? It's amazing how Christlike these "Christians" really are.

That's being charitable. It seems more likely that they did do the research and got EXACTLY what they paid thousands of dollars for. And now they're crying that evil "activists" are trying to disqualify thousands of signatures. Lie down with dogs. . .

Can someone tell me how they can still be tax exempt when they meddle so much into politics - even handing out petitions inside church??? Is that legal?

Both the Catholic Church AND Mass Family Institute should have their tax exempt status taken away from them. Who knows the laws?

I know the laws. Their political action committees doing the drives (MIPAC, Catholic Citizenship) are not non-profits.
