While the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
has come under well-deserved scrutiny for supporting groups such as ACORN and
groups with ties to promoting abortion, CMR has uncovered that Ralph McCloud,
while heading the CCHD in 2008, was simultaneously working as a highly placed
campaign official for a pro-choice politician seeking to unseat a pro-life
politician.
As you likely know, CCHD is the bishops' anti-poverty program which funds community organizing and economic development projects and has been at the center of a number of controversies. Ralph McCloud was named head of the CCHD in November 2007. In his first year as head of the CCHD, according to public records, McCloud also worked as the Treasurer for Planned Parenthood endorsed Democrat Wendy Davis. This is the same Wendy Davis who conducted that filibuster of the Texas State Senate to prevent passage of a law to limit abortions in Texas.

During her 2008 campaign for office, Davis had the assistance
of Ralph McCloud as her campaign treasurer. This was during (not before,
not after but during) his first year as head of the CCHD. Of
course everyone on this list has seen various pieces of campaign material:
flyers, yard signs, etc. By law they all bear the name of the campaign
treasurer: meaning that everyone knew that McCloud was associated with a
proponent of abortion. Read the CMR link for more details, including
alleged hanky-panky. To this day McCloud is still head of the CCHD. McCloud helped facilitate this
woman's election - and her
subsequent shilling for the murders of babies as exemplified in her filibuster. Can we trust this man with one
penny of Catholic donations? Of course not!
So we have yet one more reason to boycott the CCHD collections within the next few months. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if more "reasons" pop out of the woodwork.
