Faith Leaders Offer Wis. Lawmakers Sanctuary

By James Parks

Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant faith leaders from Illinois and Wisconsin today offered sanctuary to the 14 Democratic members of the Wisconsin state Senate who left the chamber Wednesday to prevent Gov. Scott Walker (R) from railroading through his budget measure that would destroy middle-class jobs and eliminate collective bargaining rights for public service workers.

If you?d like to support the 14 brave Democratic senators who stopped the vote on Walker?s bill with a contribution of any size, you can do that here.

If you make a contribution, be sure to go to the ?We Are One? Facebook page here and tell people you pitched in and where to donate.
