I know a Rabbi that runs a rehab center who is meeting with Bush on Wednesday. Not sure of the details as we were just faxed today....it seems to be related to Bush's Faith Based initiative and funding.

Real smart of those liberals to protest religious leaders and those who have dedicated teir lives to helping others.

On Wednesday, March 3, the White House and the Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Labor, Health & Human Services, Housing & Urban Development, and Education and the Agency for International Development will host a conference in Los Angeles, to help faith-based and community organizations learn more about President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative. The Federal government is working to make sure that faith-based and community groups can compete on an equal footing for Federal dollars, receive greater private support, and face fewer bureaucratic barriers.
