This morning I started hearing reports of problems in Camden with their water. By this afternoon I was reading about and tonight it is on the local evening news. Water is in very short supply RIGHT NOW in Camden. Water is very critical on days like this, but in Camden it also has an added importance: putting out fires! Forget for a second the Riversharks game had to be cancelled, fires are a legitimate concern for both the residents AND THE POLICE, FIRE, EMS personnel/public servants.

Dear Friends,

Summer is finally here, and another successful school year has come to an end.

This is the perfect time for us to reflect on the great works of our students and schools, and continue to promote awareness of school choice.

In this issue of \”Catholic School Matters\”, we share the outstanding standardized test scores our students received, highlight the most notable events of the year, and discuss the excitement and changes in store for the next school year.

Have a great summer, and see you in the Fall!

Washington, D.C. – Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its latest report, No Strings Attached, detailing how members of Congress-turned-lobbyists spend more of their excess campaign funds on political contributions than their non-lobbying counterparts after leaving office. In all, CREW examined the campaign and political action committee (PAC) spending of 57 members of the 110th Congress who did not return for the following Congress.

OMAHA, Neb. — It had to end, for either Arkansas or South Carolina — Friday night was going to be the end of the road in the 2012 College World Series.

History will show the Gamecocks posted a 3-2 come-from-behind victory — the 19th consecutive CWS game in which South Carolina allowed four runs or fewer. The two-time defending CWS champion Gamecocks won for the third time in two days and earned a spot opposite Arizona in the championship series. The best-of-three championship series begins at 8 p.m. ET Sunday on ESPN2.

PHILADELPHIA – La Salle rising senior Blase Szyszko (Bensalem, Pa. / La Salle College HS) will swim the 100m and 200m breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Nebraska later this month. The Bensalem, Pa. native will swim the 100m breast on June 25 and the 200m breast on June 28.

Fellow Patriot,

Around the country, governors and state legislatures are under pressure from the Obama Administration and the federal government to create and implement the statewide health care exchanges that are a major part of ObamaCare.

These federally-regulated \”exchanges\” will replace the state individual market in health care with crony collusion between insurance companies and government bureaucrats. And, on the losing side of that deal will be the consumer.

Recently, in New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie earned our thanks and appreciation for vetoing legislation that would have created one of these exchanges in the Garden State.
