Jesus Cares for the Poor…
May 12th, 2005
It is encouraging to see that we, progressives, are finally figuring out that we must be more vocal and assertive if we’re to “win the hearts and minds” of our fellow Americans. With that in mind, South Dakota Democrats have taken to the streets:
We firmly believe this. We are excited to take the message, “Democrats make America stronger”, to the street. We also believe discussion makes America stronger, that is why we did not shy away from reminding America of our values — taking care of the poor and managing the deficit. Based on the outpouring of financial support, we know you agree with us — Democrats do make America stronger.[...]
Executive Director Roger Berggren noted, “I am not sure the ‘Jesus cares for the poor’ sign speaks to everybody, but it does speak to those Christian progressives that have spent the last two years walking though church seeing James Dobson fliers and hearing their Priests and Ministers tell them they cannot be a good Christian and a good Democrat (archived PDF) at the same time.”
