Because they try to influence politics? Wow, you must be 'concerned with' pretty much everyone in this country then. I also understand there are groups without my views trying to influence politics, but I also know that the Constitution protects me from things I may otherwise fear.

Are Catholics the only ones you think have a significant influence on your life? I worry for you if you fear every group that tries to influence politics.
