The Catholic Church in our country is so messed up that it cannot...

Nais po naming imbitahin kayong samahan kami sa isang rally at pakikipag-usap kay Presidente Aquino tungkol sa kagyat na usapin ng botohan ng Konggreso sa RH Bill.
Isa hanggang dalawang libong mga kasapi at tagatangkilik ng kilusan para ipasa ang RH Bill (Purple Ribbon Movement) ang pupunta sa Mendiola sa Martes, Disyembre 13, alas 10-12 ng umaga. Humigit-kumulang 75 sa mga pinuno ang papasok at makikipag-usap sa Presidente mula 10:30-11:30.
Sa pagpupulong, ilalahad ng grupo ang sinasadyang pagbinbin sa botohan sa RH Bill bunga ng matindi at puspusang pagbabara nito ng mga anti-RH. Dahil dito, nasasayang lamang ang panahon sa paulit-ulit at walang-saysay na interpellation o hindi pagpapakita ng interpellator. Hihilingin ng grupo kay Pangulong Aquino na magtakda ng taning sa pagboto sa RH Bill sa unang tatlong buwan ng 2012, bago ito malibing sa kalampag ng susunod na eleksyon.
Bilang isang haligi ng kampanya sa RH Bill, nais namin kayong makasama sa napakahalangang pagkilos na ito, sa loob at labas ng Malacañang. Nais rin naming makasama ang iba pa sa inyong mga kasamahan o kaibigan na sumusuporta rin sa RH Bill.
Umaasa sa inyong pakiisa.
“We would like to invite you all to join us for mass mobilisation and dialogue with President Aquino for him to take the lead in calling for a vote in Congress for the RH Bill.
Almost 2,000 RH advocates and allies of the RH Bill Purple Ribbon Movement will be assembling to march on Mendiola this Tuesday, Dec. 13, beginning at 10am and ending at 12pm. Approximately 75 community leaders will be entering Malanang itself for a dialogue with the President from 1030-1130am.
During this gathering, concerned groups will be relaying to the President the deliberate and shameful delaying tactics employed by the anti-RH. These actions serve only to obstruct the democratic process and willfully waste taxpayer money through repeated questions that have long since been answered, with arguments being offered by the anti-RH that have long since been rejected by the global scientific community.
More often than not, scheduled anti-RH interpellators who so loudly demanded time to debate on the RH bill and have the gall to call themselves pro-life, do not even show up, further showing their contempt for the process and willingness to let more women and children die each day that they delay.
Assembled RH advocates will be calling on President Aquino to give a clear message to the so-far dithering congressional leadership for a concrete timetable that will promise a vote on the RH bill within the first three months of 2012, before it is again lost in the selfish electioneering of previous congresses.
As advocates for the RH campaign we would wish for any and all like minded people to join us for this most important movement, both inside and outside Malacanang. We also welcome any groups or friends that you may wish to bring with you.”
