Dear CatholicVote.org Member,

We are pleased to announce that our latest commercial - Imagine Spot 2 - will begin airing tonight on the American Idol finale.  We have secured ad space in select markets in six states, beginning tonight in Baltimore.

Our ad will also be running tomorrow night during the second night of the finale in select markets in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Florida.

If you contributed to this campaign - thank you!  Your contributions truly helped make this happen.

If you still want to help, it's not too late!  Donate now.

In a news release issued to the press this afternoon, we made this simple point: "We hope that by highlighting the common thread between people like Babe Ruth, John Lennon and Faith Hill that Americans will reflect on the enormous gift of every human life.  Our ad aims to set aside our political differences, musical tastes, or celebrity fashions, and remind our fellow Americans that every life matters - that every life is beautiful."

Here in Chicago spring is well underway.  The tulips planted last fall are in full bloom, and the seeds put in the ground only weeks ago are already sprouting.  It's fun to imagine our latest ad as a package of seeds spread across our great nation.  Every time it is viewed, we pray that its message will take root. 

We don't expect to wake up on Thursday and see a different country.  But what we do know is that millions of Americans will see our message of hope this week - a message that cuts across the political and cultural boundaries that too often limit our ability to tell the world what it truly means to be PRO-LIFE.

We pray our efforts contribute in some way to what the late Pope John Paul the Great called a new "springtime of faith."

Looking around us, especially in D.C. (or even South Bend!) may be discouraging.  But we remind you once again of the hope that all of us share.  As a well-known Catholic writer wrote several years ago, "God isn't dead.  He's not even tired."

And neither are we.

Sincerely,

Brian, Josh, Kara, Pat and the CatholicVote.org Team
