Political Activity

What is the difference between "allowed" political activity by the Knights and "partisan politics," which is not permitted in the Knights?  Click on the PDF article below.

Bishop Libasci, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, and Supreme Chaplain Archbishop Lori have been urging us to become more involved in political issues like respect for life and religious freedom.  They have encouraged us to send mail or call our elected officials at both the state and federal level. But at our degree, we were told to not engage in “partisan politics” within our council. Is there an issue here?

The following two pages in the PDF file below were issued by our NH State Council to help everyone understand how to engage our elected officials without violating our policy against partisan politics.

Please take a few minutes to read it. You will find it’s very straightforward with no legalese.
