Glenn Beck is borrowing a line from Mike Huckabee to launch a new campaign aimed at helping Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) get his bill allowing employers to decide whether or not they want to cover contraceptives amended to the transportation bill. Blunt has said he would “like to get it on a bill the President has to sign,” and Beck seems determined to help him.

Beck — a Mormon, for the record — is launching a “We are all Catholics now” campaign that will urge his listeners and followers to lobby Congress to attach the amendment to the transprotation bill. Details here

From the guide to the campaign for Beck listeners: 

4. When you call, be sure to tell them “We are all Catholics now”. This key phrase will let them know you are part of a larger, organized movement working in support of religious freedom.

At CPAC last week, Huckabee debuted the “we are all Catholics now” line in his speech to the conservative audience.
