Fellow readers, I am not sure how the Postulator group is to work, because it is usually done by the Diocese of the person who is up for Canonization, so I ask you to spread this by you sharing this, either on Facebook, Twitter, or other Social Media Networks and websites.

My name is Andrew J. Baalman, the 12th Great Nephew of William Cardinal Allen.
He, Cardinal Allen; founded the English College in Douai France, many other Seminaries. Not to mention, he saves my Great Grandfather's life, Fr. Thomas Worthington O.P., he is a theologian and wrote a beautiful book on the Rosary and other Marian Devotions, he was put into Prison in England and sentenced to death for teaching the Faith, but, my uncle, Cardinal Allen; got Fr. Worthington special permission to marry Cardinal Allen's niece and escaped to Douai France to the English College and helped my uncle on the Douay Rheims bible.
With giving the Catholic World, the first ever English Bible; The Douay Rheims, he also wrote numerous works to defend the Faith, also the life of the English Martyrs.
His works can be found on Amazon and they are reprints in the Old English and Latin Type Setting; which is very hard to read and the prices are expensive. The Original Douay Rheims sells on Amazon for $249 which is way to expensive for every day Catholics who want this version than with the footnotes that is sold now.
To help get his works, including the bible he gave us, back in full time print and proper and beautiful English and other Translations to help us learn the Faith, and also to get the price down to where everyone can afford it, I came up with the idea of the Writers, Publishers and Translators of the Catholic World to come together and work together, and contact the different companies re-printing the works and ask for the rights to work on them, to re-publish and properly translate them. One said he doesn't have the time and would be too expensive and others just haven't shown any interest at all; which does cause a great deal to worry about, because these books written in the 1500s are needed now again to defend and teach the Faith against the same errors he faced when fighting the Protestant Revolt.
If you want to help me get this project going, contact me. The one writer said a crowd funding set up; like a Go Fund Me, would be good for this. But, I have problem, I am on SSI and the rules are very strict and I can't set it up, something will have to be done.
Please help me to promote my Uncle and help get his work re-translated, re-published, and prices made for everyone, so they can afford it.
Thank you and God bless you
