Budget cuts hurt poor, say religious groups

Get ready for more undernourished infants, dangerously cold homes and
disease-stricken communities in developing countries if proposed
federal budget cuts become law.

That's the message coming from
left-to-center religious advocacy groups, who've been rallying
supporters and blanketing Capitol Hill since budget debates kicked into
high gear in mid-February.

Declaring budgets to be "moral
documents," they're prodding lawmakers to honor their respective faith
traditions by sparing poverty-related programs from the cost-cutting
axe.
