On the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August, in a call conveniently left off of the White House schedule, President Obama asked about a thousand Jewish rabbis -- currently preparing the sermons and messages for the High Holy Days -- to include an appeal for universal health care in their homilies from the altar during this most holy of times.
Now if you can find another President (particularly a Republican one) going to such lengths to push their agenda I'm sure Lawdog would welcome the information.
Just FYI the Regan Administration in particular successfully advocated the removal of tax exempt status from at least one (conservative) religious organization that used the pulpit to push politics. ISTR several similar actions being considered/advocated against religious organizations during the last President's term as well, just not sure of the details. |
