Don't let the Religious Right Silence Obama's Cabinet Secretary

A powerful network of right-wing Catholics is trying to ban one of President Obama's cabinet secretaries from speaking at Georgetown University. The Cardinal Newman Society previously led the opposition to President Obama's speech at Notre Dame three years ago, and tried unsuccessfully to stop Archbishop Desmond Tutu from delivering the commencement address at Gonzaga University this year.

So far Georgetown University is standing strong in the face of demands that the university cancel a speech by Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services. But with the issue already making headlines, we need to show Georgetown that everyday people of faith are united against the Religious Right's efforts to turn Catholic college campuses into a battleground for partisan culture wars.

Sign the petition and tell Georgetown: Stand strong and let Secretary Sebelius speak.
