RE :
On July 20, 12 Christian leaders met with President Obama at the White House to voice concerns about the prospect of budget cuts to government welfare. The group included Jim Wallis of the liberal social justice organization Sojourners and representatives from the National Association of Evangelicals, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Salvation Army, and several humanitarian development agencies. The timing of the meeting was significant. One day earlier, the so-called Gang of Six in the Senate announced its proposal to address the budget deficita proposal that did not confront the explosive growth in anti-poverty spending that is contributing to our nations fiscal crisis. And shortly after talking with the religious leaders on Wednesday, President Obama entered budget meetings with congressional leaders. The Christian leaders used their 40 minutes with the President to discuss the Circle of Protection, an ecumenical statement that asks for government anti-poverty programs to be walled off from budget-reduction debates. According to Wallis, The most vulnerable need a special exemption from all spending cuts.
We told President Obama that this is what God requires of all of us.
Faith Leaders Meet with Obama to Protect Welfare State 'Jesus would ask Rome to raise taxes on the rich to keep the poor on welfare' Jim Wallace ping!
