Tracking Institutions Opposing B.O.'s Power Grab

The indefatigable Tom Peters is tracking institutions that have issued public statements against B.O.'s violation of religious liberty.  

If your institution (college, religious order, charitable organization, etc.) hasn't spoken out, it might be a good idea to drop them a note and encourage them to do so.

I will note that both Notre Dame and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities have issued statements praising B.O.'s use of coercive governmental power to force Christians to not only violate their conscience but to pay for the privilege as well.  Ahem.  It might be a good idea to wonder a bit about whether or not you want your donations to these institutions to be used to buy the faculty, the cafeteria staff, and the safety officers, etc. the Morning After Pill.

From Mr. Peters:

Here are Catholic institutions that have spoken out against the mandate:
