Princeton University's Robert P. George has joined several other prominent pro-life, pro-family academics in starting the Moral Accountability Project, complete with an impressive website that tracks Barack Obama's actions regarding the issues of life, religious freedom and family. It's definitely one that you'll want to bookmark and refer to often.And it's one you'll want to tell others about.
The site already offers important information: links to breaking news, relevant articles, an updated record of both Obama's words and deeds regarding these critical issues and a compelling mission statement, a portion of which I print below.
...The Moral Accountability Project trusts that those self-identified pro-life and pro-marriage Catholics and Evangelicals who helped to put Barack Obama into a position to accomplish his goals were sincere in their admiration for him. We are willing to believe that they genuinely hope that he will go back on his pledges to attack pro-life laws and repeal pro-marriage policies. Still, actions have consequences, and the actions of these intellectuals and activists will have consequences that are all too easy to predict. With each assault bythe Obama administration on laws and policies upholding the sanctity of human life and the dignity of marriage, we will ask all Catholics and Evangelicals, including those who supported Obama, to join us in resisting these assaults. That is our mission at www.moralaccountability.com.
Our project is offered in a constructive spirit, not one of vilification. Our goal is to help ensure that never again will good intentions conspire with shoddy reasoning and wishful thinking to compromise the rights of the weakest and most vulnerable members of our community and to undermine the institution of marriage. And so in a sincere spirit of friendship, we invite those Catholics and Evangelicals who joined with Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and similar organizations in supporting Obama to join us now in repelling the attacks that will be launched against life and marriage by this administration...
Congratulations and thanks to Dr. George and the members of the outstanding team that has assembled for this crucial effort. We will be visiting your site often.
