Post-election analysis by NETWORK Staff
By Jean Sammon
November 08, 2012
The day after the election, NETWORK staff held a conference call for our members to discuss what we see going forward.
You can hear a recording of that call here: http://youtu.be/ZR3KBJrfmEI
These are some of the things we talked about:
- What changed in Congress, and what didn’t
- How to use the state platforms that were created as part of the Election2012: Catholics vote for the Common Good project
- Power shifting in the electorate — from white men to women, people of color, and low-income people
- What will happen in the Lame Duck session of Congress
- Three projects that NETWORK is now focused on: Faithful Budget, Mend the Gap, and Medicaid expansion
- The “Catholic vote” and Catholic values
