You need to read up on Brownback a little more if you think he’s “terrible [on] … helping the downtrodden” or that he’s “no friend to the poor”.

Brownback has also taken a LOT of heat from conservatives for having a humane position on illegal immigration and amnesty that closely matches that of the USCCB.

Seriously, Sam Brownback is the ONLY candidate from either party who takes seriously the whole range of Catholic social teaching. I urge you to reconsider your view on his candidacy.
