REUTERS/Kevin LamarqueCatholicVote, a national faith-based advocacy organization, is targeting Catholic voters in swing states in its $9.7 million campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
In efforts to “expose Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic record and policy agenda,” the organization on Tuesday announced its plans on reaching more than 5 million Catholics in crucial swing states.
According to the organization, the campaign includes digital advertising, parish-by-parish canvassing, direct mail features, and GOTV initiatives in six states.
CatholicVote also released a full report detailing Biden’s career from a Catholic perspective and where he stands on issues including “the sanctity of life, religious liberty, judges, education, the dignity of work, and other
core issues.”
The group will send the report along with a condensed voter-guide version to 5 million Catholic voters.
The campaign will begin with a $350,000 digital ad in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
The ad urges Catholic voters to “learn the truth about Joe Biden’s radical stance on abortion.”
It alleges, “Joe Biden would force American Catholics to pay for abortions, sacrificing his Catholic values, to kneel before the leftist mob.”
CatholicVote President Brian Burch revealed why he believes a Biden presidency would be catastrophic for Catholics.
“Joe Biden’s record makes clear he will not protect our Catholic values or defend our way of life. For Catholics who cherish the Faith and their freedom to live it, a Biden presidency represents an existential threat,” Burch said.
He continued, “Catholics are less focused on Joe Biden’s claims about his personal faith, and instead on what his policies would do to the culture, and their freedom to live out their own beliefs.”
President Donald Trump insisted during an interview in August, Biden is “against” the Bible and religion, as IJR previously reported.
Biden fired back, “For President Trump to attack my faith is shameful. It’s beneath the office he holds, and it’s beneath the dignity the American people so rightly expect and deserve from their leaders.”
