Summary
Warning! Political Talk Ahead!
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
This election is a difficult one for many reasons. What is a good Catholic to do? Over the years, Mike has been involved in politics on the local, state, and federal levels.

We think you will find this advice practical and helpful as we navigate these muddy waters in our election this year.
