Burger King Moms

Giving Burger King Moms a voice by Jim Wallis. He makes an excellent point - with all our current focus on the "war on terrorism", we have left our working poor on the sidelines:

"The Republicans look after their wealthy constituents, and the Democrats want to be the champions of the middle class. Neither makes a priority of the needs of the poor. Is that because the problems of poverty are disappearing in America? Hardly. The poverty rate (including that for children) has risen over the past two years. More people than ever are without health insurance. Increasing numbers of people can't find affordable housing. The minimum wage hasn't been raised for seven years."

We need to work on our focus here.
