re: #119 JordanRules

We could probably start with some truth and reconciliation initiatives, civic engagement initiatives and really keep going from there.

Clinton continuing Obama’s economy along with those really bold, long needed Govt initiatives couldn’t hurt either.

You know what would be a big help?

If the religious Left (Jim Wallis, Rev Barber, Slacktivist, some of Pope Francis’ new cardinals, etc) were to organize for a big public profile with frequent TV appearances, lobbying, take over the prayer breakfast, endorsements, and every other analog to the religious right whack-jobs.

People who call themselves Christians are a huge voting bloc, and they’re only hearing from one side of the debate. They need voices they’ll consider legitimate to tell them that abortion and homosexuality are not the be-all and end-all, or even the most important, moral questions. Someone they’ll listen to who can explain that Jesus never thought either of those issues was worth a single mention, ever, but he went on and on and on about feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, healing the sick, paying your taxes, and so forth.
