Dear Editor: Tom Byrnes (Politics and Abortion, Readers’ Forum, Nov. 17) should realize that the millions of faithful Catholics across this great nation will only vote for the party that truly represents the real values of both the Church and Christ by putting the needs of the poor and working class over the needs of the ultra wealthy; providing healthcare access to all from birth to death, caring for a delicate environment, establishing a responsible immigration policy that respects human dignity and keeps families united; and respecting people from all religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.

I guarantee you, Mr. Byrnes, that we as faithful Catholics who vote “their conscience” have no intention of leaving the religion that instilled those values in the first place.

TOM MORANO
