Catholics hear anti-Obama letter in church

[pamela]

16. We should do the same thing.

In 2004, Jim Wallace's organization Sojourners, put out a great, printable flyer that really spelled out in religious terms how the Dem platform was more in line with Christ's teaching. I started a thread about it on the Kerry forum and I think here, too and...nothing. No responses. It would have been a perfect way to cheaply and easily reach a large audience of people who vote. I printed a bunch out and took them to some local churches and gave them to religious friends and family members.

It's silly to cede religious folks to the Repubs. Obama won the Catholic vote last time and I know lots of Catholics that want to vote Democratic but get so much pressure to vote Repub. My parents are very religious and they voted for Kerry and Obama. They really appreciate the Sojourners stuff I give them because they get bombarded with crap from the other side.

There are lots of good religious folks, like my parents, who truly follow Christ's teaching. They volunteer at soup kitchens, visit and help the sick and donate to the poor. It frustrates me that we don't make more of an effort to reach out to these folks.
