YES!  We&#8217;re definitely excited that President Barack Obama has accepted an invitation to join tens of thousands of people of faith on a nationwide conference call on Wednesday, August 19, at 5:00 pm eastern. Afterall, this is an historic opportunity: never before has a President addressed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=faithfulreform.wordpress.com&blog=6164492&post=131&subd=faithfulreform&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Fear works.

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I had the pleasure of attending a breakfast meeting with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) as part of the annual Families USA National Grassroots Meeting: Health Action 2009. 

After an interesting and informative town hall style discussion, the meeting ended and everyone moved to leave the room. I suppose I moved more quickly than others, and somehow I ended up walking out the door in lockstep with Senator Grassley. Suddenly, we—that is, Senator Grassley and I—were surrounded by press! Not being a conference attendee, I was without the big red bag and name tag that marked me as one, and the press seemed to assume I worked for the Senator. So, for a moment I simply enjoyed the status and proximity to listen to Senator Grassley answer questions.

Question #1: “How will you vote this afternoon on SCHIP?”

Oh no. Not that question.
