"Concerned Women" PRAISE Senate for Healthy Marriage Bill

Like we have an extra $100 million for this shit.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) praises the Senate for recognizing the importance of marriage and passing a provision in the Omnibus Deficit Reduction bill that will provide $100 million for marriage-strengthening programs.

"CWA has worked tirelessly to fight for this marriage bill; we've contacted members of Congress on behalf of our constituency to let them know that this bill is a priority for grassroots America," said Lanier Swann, CWA's Director of Government Relations. "We want to thank Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pennsylvania) for his leadership. His passion for this initiative was one of the key factors for its passage. We encourage the House of Representatives to pass the Senate language of this legislation as soon as possible.

Swann added, "Marriage is a fundamental element of society; no nation can survive without strong marriages at its foundation. Yet, divorce and living together without marriage are undermining the family. The healthy marriage initiative will provide financial resources for educational and skill-based programs that will teach couples how to make their marriage work."

Swann continued, "Congress has listened to pro-family advocates; they understand that marriage affects all of society. Divorce hurts the spouses involved, but the outcome for children is disastrous. Children who come from single-parent homes experience more poverty, emotional and behavioral problems than those who come from households with two parents. Mom and Dad benefit from staying married, too. Physical, financial, mental and emotional health result from a healthy marriage."

Dr. Janice Crouse, Senior Fellow of CWA's Beverly LaHaye Institute, added, "The Healthy Marriage Initiative will help all American families. CWA is grateful to everyone who pushed for this pro-marriage initiative. If we are to reverse the cultural trends that are harming all of society, it will be because we have strengthened marriage and built strong families as a bulwark against the forces that would destroy our nation."

At approx $2.35 per gal for heating oil, if you figure it costs approx $400. per month, $2,400. per heating season to heat a home for a 6 month period in the North country (which runs actually longer then Nov thru April up here) ... $100,000,000. would heat 41,667 homes.

Just think where else this money could have been put to truly helpful use helping the poor of this country.

There is a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do...it boils down to something so simplistic.
Hmmm, do you help people who are living in tents in the middle of winter or spend the money telling people to communicate more?
I am truly ashamed.

what's wrong with this picture? . . .
