Who’d have thought the Christian right and the U.S. military would join with liberals and granola crunchers everywhere? Well, perhaps it isn’t quite the party I am making it out to be, but I think having the words of Dr. Joel Hunter (known as one of “President Obama’s five favorit-est pastors,” according to Grist) behind the climate bill is a powerful step toward helping it pass.

Script for the “Redemption” Ad Airing in 8 States:
This is Rev. Joel Hunter. As our seas rise, crops wither, and rivers run dry, God’s creation cries out for relief.
The failure to answer the calling to be good stewards has consequences. The destabilizing effect of climate change will hit the poor the hardest, and it also threatens our national security, our economic prosperity, and our children’s future.
Yet no matter how bleak things appear, redemption is always possible.
So people of faith are speaking out… a great assembly of Christian pastors and churches and America’s military leaders are demanding that Congress passes a climate bill that creates jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and especially protects vulnerable families and communities at home and abroad who are most hurt by climate change.
The time for action is now. Please join the chorus of the faithful by calling 877-88-CLIMATE to learn more and be connected to your Member of Congress. Paid for by American Values Network.org.
