I believe this request from SNAP president Barbara Blaine to sign a petition to Cardinal Timothy Dolan to stop his legal bullying is worthy of your consideration (I've already signed it).

You can also find it on our homepage at SNAPnetwork.org Thanks for your help!

Dear SNAP Members and Supporters:

We are extremely grateful for the support you have shown to us today!

But since we are doing so well in getting our message out – but the threat to us remains–we want to take advantage of this unique moment and ask one more favor of you.

Would you please take the time to sign on to SNAP's petition and help spread the word about it?

It asks Cardinal Dolan (President of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops) to publicly take a stand against bullying tactics by some church officials and lawyers.. It says:

Cardinal Dolan – "Stop the legal bullying!"

As the head of America's bishops, we urge you to publicly denounce, and stop, the bullying tactics used by bishops and church defense lawyers against those seeking help from the support group SNAP, including victims of abuse by clerics, witnesses, whistleblowers, police, prosecutors and journalists.

Please consider posting it on your FaceBook, sending out a tweet about it, and letting any bloggers you know about it.

Also, please ask folks at your job, school, organization, church, etc. to also sign and circulate the petition.

So grateful to each of you!

All the best,

Barbara Blaine
