The Wall Street Journal today reports on a new political activism by progressive and liberal Christians. For example, a recent ad campaign by the American Values Network on Christian and country music stations in ten states encouraged support for federal legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, framing support in religious terms. Another coalition of Christian groups is about to begin an ad campaign supporting health care reform. Conservative Christian groups, such as the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation which rejects concerns about global warming, are organizing in opposition. [Thanks to Steven H.

American Values Network is not "progressive and liberal."
Some time ago I had Monica Langley of the Wall Street Journal tell me she was interested and might take up the 70-549 story which I addressed under the Ave Marie Law School article of a couple of days ago.
Like Irwin Chemerinsky, she appears to have never gotten around to it or been able to get any of her associates to pursue it.
Perhaps, if Bob Ritter's referenced lawsuit challenging IRC 107 gets filed, the Wall Street Journal will find time to give consideration to the 70-549 story in conjunction with its coverage of the IRC 107 story.
