The National Council of churches has a blog site Faithful America with a petition to sign to counter the push to confirm Alito from the extreme right religious "Justice Sunday"as if they were the only God loving correct thinking group. I don't know how to give you a link but think this important. Found you from MSNBC.
Thanks for coming by. Where was the link on MSNBC? Are they doing what WaPo is doing and linking back to blogs that reference their articles?
