Has anyone heard of NETWORK?
NETWORK
They call themselves a "National Catholic Social Justice Lobby", and have a very interesting website that includes much useful information on the current economic crises, including the various bailout measures, both passed and proposed: http://www.networklobby.org/issues/economic_equity/FinancialCrisis10-31-08.htm

They also have a list of current bills they strongly support or oppose:

And NO, they don't take a position on abortion legality.

I've seen a few other religious social justice lobbying groups' websites (Society of Friends, Reform Jewish), and I have to say, "I'm impressed".

1. Thanks for the info
Catholic Social Justice Teachings are some of the reasons I'm still Catholic.
