Top faith leaders write to Obama on Health Care

Twenty-two prominent religious leaders, including nine members of the White House Council for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, wrote to President Obama on the day of his first State of the Union address to encourage him to exercise his full influence to urge Congress to pass comprehensive health reform legislation, imploring him "to make it plain to all Americans that the decisions of Congress have moral consequences.

According to the letter, "Your active and public leadership is desperately needed at this moment of doubt on Capitol Hill." It continues, "The political twists and turns of the last week do not change the facts on the ground: hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose their homes, thousands who would otherwise live will die, and countless people will continue to go without needed care if Congress does not pass health reform."
