What FBOs can expect from a Bush Presidency +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ by Thomas Wakely
As the Executive Director of a faith-based organization [FBO] in Austin, Texas I have first- hand experience with what Catholics can expect from a Bush presidency.
Our organization, though interfaith, has strong ties to the local Catholic diocese as well as a number of churches. Our involvement with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, one of the few state agencies where Gov. Bush appointed not only all the members of the Board of Directors but the Executive Director as well, has been nothing short of a headache from Hell.
On more than dozen occasions over the past several years, we have been told directly and indirectly, that Catholics were not welcome at the table. We have endured harassment and retaliation from members of the Gov.'s staff and employees of this agency; all because we are Catholic. And we are not alone. Dozens of other FBO's with Catholic ties have also felt the same strong hand of intolerance from the Bush team here in Texas.
While I am a strong supporter of FBO's, I fear a Bush Presidency.
Thomas Wakely Executive Director Corporation for Affordable Housing and Community Economic Development
