Recently, I joined faith leaders across the country in fasting because I believe the budget that has been debated in Washington is immoral. This budget leaves children and pregnant women hungry, our veterans homeless, students without teachers and sick people without health care at a time when billionaires were just given massive tax cuts. A society that leeches the poor and middle class to give to the rich is neither moral nor just.
I hope Washington will hear me and fight for a budget that protects all Americans, not just the wealthiest among us.
