Blessed are those who remember the poor

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.
