Presidential Forum on Faith Values, and Poverty Watch Party

Faith Guiding Our Vote: A Presidential Forum on Faith, Values, and Poverty will be broadcast June 4 on CNN from 7 PM to 8 PM Eastern time.

Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama -- will be joining Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners for a nationally televised conversation on faith, values, and poverty. And in hundreds of churches and homes across the country, people of faith like you and me will be gathering to watch the candidates address the issues that matter most to us.

The forum next week is the first of two upcoming forums with presidential hopefuls. A similar second forum that will feature top Republican contenders is to take place in Iowa in September.

"We are excited that the leading candidates will be meeting with faithful voters who are hungry for a real conversation about the big moral issues of our time," said Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners. "The forum will focus on faith and values, with a special emphasis on poverty. This conversation will offer faithful voters insights into each candidate’s moral compass and help to guide their decisions as they consider the candidates running for president of the United States."

Barry Lynn to visit WNC

Barry Lynn, Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State will be on the program of American Vision's National Conference tomorrow night at the LifeWay Ridgecrest Conference Center. He will be debating "The First Amendment" with Herb Titus, former candidate for Vice-President of the United States. Along with Roy Moore, Titus was an original drafter of the Constitution Restoration Act, which sought to take out of federal court jurisdiction cases that involved public officials that acknowledged God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government, and provided for the impeachment of federal judges who disregarded the act.

A small group of WNC AU chapter members will be meeting with Barry Lynn tomorrow afternoon.

Bush's veto of the war funding bill

This man is not going to compromise and Democrats should not give in to his arrogance.

It is time for impeachment to be carefully considered!
