Real Christians Arrested:Protesting Fedrl Budget

This warms my heart: Acting on the absolutely correct conviction that our fedrl budget is a moral document, that reflects the values and priorities of our culture, 100s of religious protestors gathered in DC to call on our govt to stop cutting programs that help out the working poor, in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. ChicagoTribune: The Rev Jim Wallis told 100s of religious protesters gathered near the Capitol on Weds that there is a scandal this month, but it isn't the conservative myth about a war on Christmas: "The Christmas scandal is the budget out of this House of Reps, a budget which is an assault on low-income people, on poor families. Wallis was arrested by Capitol Hill police along with 113 other protesters--as they knew they would--for blocking the building's entrance.
