A note from the Catholic Conference

We received the following missive from the New York State Catholic Conference"

We appreciate your frequent links to our action alerts but in the future please refrain from encouraging your readers to indicate to legislators that they saw the alert on Albany Catholic. We can't allow our service to be used to advertise non-Catholic Conference sponsored web sites or other media. In addition, it waters down the influence of the Catholic Advocacy Network if legislators are given the false impression that the email campaign is being generated from a local blog rather than from the state's bishops' own network. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

We promised to refrain.
