How can the members of this committee and the members of Congress feel that it is okay and acceptable for the American people to wait an entire year to solve a crisis that is happening now? These people were elected to lead and they are refusing to do their jobs. How is this different from a teacher or a fire fighter who refuses to do their job? They swore an oath to serve...they are not. I wish they would be honest and say this is about the Bush Tax Cuts. Unless they are made permanent for the wealthiest Americans, this 112th Congress is on strike.
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life. Social justice IS social mercy.
The prayer is very much needed, Jim Wallis. It is the spark that will light the fire. You are in the position to provide the spark. Will you write it?
Thank you, Jim Wallis, for this article. And now just one more request....the prayer. God bless you.
PS....Can you get in touch with the religious leaders and make this a national effort?
