CVA brings 50,000 to Tebow’s Super Bowl
50,000 signatures, that is. And Tebow’s Super Bowl television debut, that is.
Most of you already know the Tim Tebow super bowl ad story.
Yesterday CatholicVote.org president Brian Burch sent an update to members of the CV/CVA family on our efforts:
The President of CBS received a surprise at 9:53 a.m. Thursday morning.
A large Fed Ex box filled with nearly 500 pages of signatures from over 50,000 friends of CatholicVote arrived at the office of CBS President Leslie Moonves.
Enclosed in the package was a personal letter thanking CBS for standing firm and agreeing to air the ad produced by Focus on the Family featuring Florida football star Tim Tebow and his mother.
… I know when I see the ad this Sunday, my heart will swell with pride. This ad is not merely a story about Pam Tebow and her son, but also a statement about being pro-life in America.
We aren’t outsiders. We are mainstream, proud, and inspiring the rest of America with what we believe.
And more people every day are coming to see what we see: Life is indeed beautiful.
Amen to that. Moreover, good for you … and thank you for showing concrete support for CBS’s openness to allowing this life-affirming message to become mainstream.
We are inspired and proud by their right choice. May it bring about other right choices.

Organized Religion is “An Opiate For The Masses”
Religion is responsible for more people dying then all the natural disasters combined
“This ad is not merely a story about Pam Tebow and her son, but also a statement about being pro-life in America.”
100 percent wrong. The ad WAS merely about Tim Tebow and his mom, PERIOD. There was NO statement whatsoever about being pro-life in America or anywhere else.
Focus on the Family and the Tebows misrepresented the content of these ads, leading a LOT of people to go to bat for them. This is wrong.
Maybe by Tebow receiving this support from Catholics they will realize that their anti-catholic agenda is misguided and they might turn around and embrace the faith. God does work in very very mysterious ways sometimes. Let’s pray for that grace of their conversion.
I guess that’s nice, that his Mom is pro-life….BUT you do realize that the Tebows are aggressive Evangelicals which focus much of their time in trying to draw Catholic Filipinos away from their faith. According to his Dad: ” In a country of over 92 million,(Philippines) the number of people who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ is staggering.” The vast majority of them are raised Catholics and I know quite a lot of them who are offended and dismayed by people like the Tebows.
what wonderful news, thank you God
