My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Most of the bishops across the countries, as well as many pastors, have been given a sneak peak at an award-winning film that has the potential to shape our culture for good. I want to take this opportunity to share with you my thoughts on the inspiring new movie, Bella, set for release on October 26 during Respect Life month.

Winner of the Toronto Film Festival's "People's Choice Award," Bella reaches audiences in a constructive and non-preachy way. Previous winners of that award, like 'Life is Beautiful' and 'Chariots of Fire', have gone on to win Best Picture Oscars!! Bella tells the story of how the unconditional love of a friend allows a woman in crisis to make life-affirming choices for herself and her child. It also uplifts the dignity of the human person and of the traditional family. Already, through pre-screenings and promotional events, hearts have been touched and lives have been changed. As our Lord said, “You will know a tree by its fruits” (Matthew 7:16 ), Bella has already produced amazing fruits.

As members of the Mystical Body of Christ and Christians with the responsibility to spread a message of love and virtue in our world, I want to encourage you to see this film and to promote this movie’s life-affirming and hope-filled message. Organizations you most likely recognize, including The Knights of Columbus and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul are endorsing and supporting this beautiful film, even dedicating time and resources to help fill theaters on opening weekend.

Pope John Paul the Second often spoke of the new evangelization and of using the media to speak the truth and of the power of the arts in shaping the culture. In response to that call, the Catholic filmmakers behind Bella have a mission to make films that not only entertain, but also inspire and uplift. I am personally inspired by their example and their good work.

God Bless you, and thank you for supporting this hopeful and exceptionally worthwhile project!

His Excellency,
Most Rev. Tod D. Brown
Bishop of Orange

KofC State on Public Policy Breaking News

The State Deputy has asked that the following message reach as many of the Knights of Columbus in the State of California as QUICKLY as possible.
Please READ, implement, and pass-on to others in your mailing 'trees'.

TWO very important Senate bills are on the desk of the Governor of California that need your attention
SB 777 - promotes discrimination against people who recognize marriage between a man and a woman as the foundation of the family

SB 94 - would provide an additional $3.2 million a year in state funds for "family planning services." (abortion)

The following will only take a minute of your time - phone calls and ' button pushing'
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO RESPOND AND BROADCAST!!
SB 777
First call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841.
When prompted, push the appropriate number for your language of preference,
press 5 for Senate bills
press 2 for Senate Bill 777
Press 2 to ask for a veto

If the Governor does not act to veto, SB 777 automatically becomes law at midnight October 14.
<>SB 777 is a dangerous bill that would craftily co-opt California private and public schools to prohibit the expression of any point of view contrary to the efforts of homosexual interest groups to redefine marriage and the family.
<>This vaguely-written bill would likely lead to promoting discrimination against people who recognize marriage between a man and a woman as the foundation of the family.

SB 777 constitutes a threat to families, children, and freedom of speech.
Learn more about SB 777 at www.ccgaction.org/family/education/ca/sb777.
<>Let's see whose voice is louder - Christians who practice their faith or those who do want to circumvent the will of the people since california voters approved marriage as between a man and a woman only. It's important to call the Governor today.
SB-94
First call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841.
When prompted, push the appropriate number for your language of preference,
press 5 for Senate bills
press 5 for Senate Bill 94
press 2 to ask for a veto

Let's see whose voice is louder - christians who practice their faith or planned parenthood who do not have any problem killing babies

SB 94 would increase government funding (your tax dollars) for abortion

BREAKING NEWS

Governor seeks public opinion on whether to veto SB-94

The staff of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has added SB-94 to the list of bills on the governor's automated public opinion telephone line. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Los Angeles, would provide an additional $3.2 million a year in state funds for "family planning services."
Planned Parenthood affiliates in California have launched a major public relations campaign across the state in an effort to persuade Schwarzenegger to sign the bill because Planned Parenthood would be among the chief beneficiaries of the additional money.
Kuehl's bill would increase Medi-Cal rates for "family planning" only, but not for other medical services. The governor has until Sunday, Oct. 14, to either sign or veto the measure. If he takes no action, the bill automatically becomes law.
Both the Senate and Assembly Republican caucuses have urged the governor's veto. In a Sept. 14 letter to the governor, Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman wrote Schwarzenegger, "it is unclear why rates for family planning services should be singled out for an increase from among the entire universe of services which Medi-Cal covers, especially when the increase was proposed at the eleventh hour of the legislative session. This proposed rate augmentation is more appropriately considered during the regular budget process."
Anyone can call the governor's office to express an opinion on SB-94. To do so, first call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841. When prompted, push the appropriate number for your language of preference, then push 5 for Senate bills; then press 5 for Senate Bill 94. Press 2 to ask for a veto.

Sit-A-Thon for the dsabled on Nov 3. Tell me your thoughts

Brothers,

Take a look at this site. I talked to the organizer. We can have a booth at no cost. We can sponsor a team of sitters. Cost to enter is $25 and goes to a program that helps the disabled to live independently. I received their postcard in the mail last month.

http://www.sit-a-thon.org/

Thank you for visiting our special web page for information about our first annual event -the Glenn Ellison Memorial Fundraiser.

We are very excited to conduct this event on November 3, 2007 at Liberty Station (formerly NTC in Point Loma) from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

What is a sit-a-thon? It's the same as a marathon, only not as difficult. This is about relaxation, making new friends, learning something new, and helping Developmental Services Continuum provide excellent services for the people we serve.

Come sit - be a sprint sitter (5 minutes at each station) or a marathon sitter (watch a Bob Hope movie), or even a virtual sitter. Sound silly? It is! Who wants to walk or run when you can sit and raise money for a great non profit organization? The idea is to form a team of ten or more at a minimum of $25 per person, so each team will bring in $250 at a minimum to help DSC reach our financial goals.

Sitting will take place on bean bag chairs, futons, directors' chairs, lazy-boys, rocking chairs, straight backed chairs, executive chairs, whatever we can find to make your day more enjoyable. You can be a sprint sitter or a marathon sitter (there's even a movie to watch in studio seats).

We will have several booths where you can sit and play board games, video games, read, knit, play card games, or just meditate. We hope to have several celebrities and well known community figures come out to visit.

Come make new friends and learn how Developmental Services Continuum has been serving the developmentally disabled for the past 25 years, and how you can help in our mission to provide excellent care to the developmentally disabled community.
