Donatelli described the Catholic Outreach Coalition, chaired by Sen. Sam Brownback and Frank Keating, as “first-rate” and said that it will be “very well-funded.”
Calling McCain’s Catholic campaign "very, very aggressive," Donatelli said it will involve literature, sending speakers to parishes and Catholic gatherings, a direct mail program and statements by Sen. McCain on issues of concern to Catholics.
The coalition plans to explain to Catholic voters how McCain is a stalwart opponent of abortion, has a strong appreciation for the social conscience of the world and that he is in favor of an immigration policy that defends the nation’s borders but also is humane in its treatment of illegal immigrants.

Let me say I have been around the block enough to hear promises how Outreach to demographic x will be well funded and 3 months later you are tearing out your hair .
I am hopeful this will not be the case. My hope is that the Catholic For McCain group will provide an outlet for many us Catholics in pews too that support McCain. THere is something interesting in this article that I will hit on on my next post.
