House Passes Spending Cuts (Religious Protestors Pray They Won't)

How many examples do we need that prayer won't work? At least this time they were liberals...

"Meanwhile, religious groups on Wednesday targeted another Republican-backed money bill for defeat. U.S. Capitol Police arrested 115 religious activists after they staged a peaceful sit-in at a government building near the U.S. Capitol.

The protesters' target was a controversial Republican budget bill being negotiated that would achieve around $42 billion in net savings over five years from a range of federal programs, including health care for the poor and elderly and possibly child care, student loans and food stamps.

'Someone's praying Lord, stop the cuts,' chanted the protesters before U.S. Capitol Police officers moved in to arrest them. They were camped out at the Cannon building that houses the offices of some lawmakers.

Call to Renewal, a network of churches and other religious organizations, was planning 'local prayer vigils' in 32 states on Wednesday to protest the budget cuts."
