Faith-based postcard campaign for immigration reform
A wide range of religious leaders are working to lobby for comprehensive immigration reform by delivering one million pro-reform postcards to Members of Congress during February and March.
Sponsors of "Together, Not Torn: Families Can't Wait for Immigration Reform" are members of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Justice for Immigrants Campaign, and "We Were Strangers, Too: The Jewish Campaign for Immigration Reform."
"People of faith are calling for immigration reform because every day they witness the human consequences of the broken immigration system - families separated, workers exploited and communities in fear," Jen Smyers of Church World Service said during a Wednesday conference call, that included Reps. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) and Yvette Clark (D-N.Y.).
Listen to an audio recording of Wednesday's conference call.

Where was this Tea party movement much less the fundamentalists now denouncing the Obama adm for reckless govt spending, when it was the most recent Bush adm and Republican party that truly bankrupted this country with their reckless spending while destroying the needed tax base that produced the needed revenue for daily operations. Yet we Americans tend to live the 'Rosey Scenario' option believing that certain industries will go on forever when they do not, as with steel, garment/textile, tires, and auto manufacturing - aside for the investors and upper mgt who always appear a step ahead of a closure or restructuring. The wealthier become more so and the middle class now has in many ways been absorbed into the lower income classes or poor.
