Religious conservatives have long lobbied Washington on behalf of their causes—bans on abortion or same-sex marriage, for example. Now religious liberals are making their voices heard. The latest case: A nine-state bus tour by Catholic nuns in opposition to Republican budget proposals spearheaded by Rep. Paul Ryan that would cut federal spending on socal programs. The Vatican does not approve of the bus tour (with its own website). But the 14 sisters are unswayed. Where does God stand?

Roman Catholic nuns hit the road in bus tour to lobby against federal cuts in social services.

This is a great event. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make it a fun and enriching…Read More experience for my family. We need to get the word out about this helpful event in Coronado for the future. It was a learning experience for children and adults alike. I feel better now with my daughter riding her bike on the busy streets of Coronado. Thanks again to all of the Police Officers, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and local volunteers.
