A Christmas Scandal!

This is why I love Sojourners. While other Christians are arguing about same-sex marriage or for the "right" to say "Merry Christmas," Sojourners' folks are out in the streets advocating for the poor.

"The very soul of our nation is in peril if Congress passes a budget that essentially takes from the poor, and gives to the rich," said Sojourners' Manager of Circulation and Production Cynthia Martens (above, being arrested on Capitol Hill) . More than 100 people were arrested last week protesting budget cuts that would disproportionately affect the poor. See more at about this action at Sojourners website.
