An alliance such as this on a given political issue is a powerful political force and is long overdue. The Christian church is too often ignored by politicians because they are so divided. When we can speak with a united voice, we cannot be scorned.
In addition, from what I read, I am in total agreement that the proposed budget cuts fall too heavily on the poor and not heavily enough upon the large corporations, military-industrial sector and wealthiest Americans. The poor have no lawyers and lobbyists on the payroll to help them out.
