Comment from the contributor:
From Bread for the World -- More than 80 church leaders called on President-elect Barack Obama and Congress to make the needs of poor people a priority in the economic stimulus package.
“ As President-elect Obama takes office, more than one in 10 Americans are receiving food stamps. Half of the recipients are children. With 7.2 percent of Americans unemployed, demands on food banks have surged by as much as 40 percent. ”
