The last session with religion reporters was held in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/episodes\/by-topic\/politics\/senate-democrats-discussing-moral-issues\/4691\/\">October 2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow, a member of the United Methodist Church who chairs the committee, said Democrats have been \u201cgoverning with a different set of values\u201d for the past 18 months. \u201cIt\u2019s not about a particular president,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about a philosophy we debate every day on the Senate floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stabenow cited Wall Street reform, job creation, economic stability, small business credit access, and extension of unemployment benefits among the Congress\u2019s recent accomplishments, despite what she called \u201ca maze of filibusters.\u201d She thanked faith communities \u201cfor being with us every step of the way\u201d and for supporting passage of last year\u2019s Recovery and Reinvestment Act and this year\u2019s health care reform bill\u2014domestic policy achievements that \u201cwouldn\u2019t have gotten done without the strong voice and commitment\u201d of communities of faith, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, praised the economic and social justice values of religious groups, citing a trip he took with Illinois Senator Dick Durbin earlier this year to examine peacekeeping issues and US foreign assistance programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, where Brown said \u201cso many faith-based groups deliver direct services.\u201d The values that underlie their work, he said, are \u201cwhat bind us,\u201d and such values should inform \u201cwhat we ought to be doing in foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Durbin and Maryland Senator Ben Cardin addressed the looming foreign policy issue of America\u2019s nine-year-old war in Afghanistan, where Cardin acknowledged that the lack of a legitimate, credible partner is \u201ctesting the resolve of the American people.\u201d Durbin, who voted against the Iraq war but for the Afghanistan war, said the consequences of combat in Afghanistan, particularly growing numbers of wounded and disabled veterans, \u201cweigh dearly on me.\u201d He added that Americans must continue to ask not only what the US has achieved in Afghanistan but also \u201chow will it end, when will it end, and at what cost.\u201d This week, more than 100 Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against a $58.8-billion war funding bill, which passed 308 to 114.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/episodes\/by-topic\/international\/trimming-the-nuclear-arsenals\/6001\/\">arms control and nuclear nonproliferation<\/a>, issues long of concern to religious groups, and about prospects for Senate ratification of the New START treaty, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley said it will be \u201ca very heavy lift to get it done.\u201d Merkley said the treaty is in trouble \u201cbecause it\u2019s an election year,\u201d and there are \u201cnot many voices to depoliticize\u201d the debate, despite what he called \u201can international social contract around nonproliferation.\u201d Merkley praised Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana for trying to keep the treaty \u201cout of the political realm\u201d and called for more grassroots efforts to weigh in on its importance. At town hall meetings, said Merkley, he hears only from treaty opponents, and \u201cthat\u2019s a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But just how far religious groups and communities of faith are willing and able to go when they enter the political fray on moral and social issues was a question raised by Klobuchar, who suggested there are \u201climits on advocacy\u201d for religious coalitions. She said that is especially the case when Republicans represent \u201ca clear obstacle to moving forward\u201d in areas such as immigration reform, one issue that has attracted considerable faith-based support across the spectrum. \u201cHow far can they go in pointing out the obstacle?\u201d asked Klobuchar. \u201cHow strong an advocate can they be?\u201d Durbin added that while 11 Republican senators once supported immigration reform, now there are none. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s stopping us\u201d from passing a bill, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Klobuchar said in conference calls with Minnesota faith leaders about Senate slowness on immigration issues she has been told that when it comes to pure political strategy, religious groups are \u201cnot involved\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t deal with that stuff.\u201d How, then, can faith communities \u201cplay a larger and louder role\u201d and \u201cpush back,\u201d she asked, at a time when the politics of immigration reform are most at issue? Can they serve as a force and a voice for getting past political differences to common ground? Stabenow added that some religious groups do, in fact, have \u201ccomfort in the partisan arena\u201d and are willing to \u201cget into strategy and partisan differences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about a reported decline in Democratic Party outreach to faith communities, Stabenow characterized Senate Democratic outreach as \u201caggressive\u201d and \u201cnot diminishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery issue,\u201d Stabenow said, \u201cis about values.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Democrats invited religion reporters to Capitol Hill to talk about outreach to communities of faith, the role of values in governing, and religious involvement in domestic and foreign policy issues. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/2010\/07\/28\/senate-democrats-shared-values-and-common-ground\/6730\/\" class=\"more\">More <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":17084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1864,8198,8199,6557,4236,8197,1030,8201,4706,1043,5464,7587,8200,8205,8202,1396,26,6375,8252,4150,8204,1285,4844],"class_list":["post-6730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-afghanistan","tag-amy-klobuchar","tag-ben-cardin","tag-common-ground","tag-congress","tag-debbie-stabenow","tag-democrats","tag-dick-durbin","tag-economic","tag-faith-based","tag-health-care-reform","tag-immigration-reform","tag-jeff-merkley","tag-new-start-treaty","tag-nuclear-nonproliferation","tag-outreach","tag-religion","tag-religious","tag-richard-lugar","tag-senate","tag-sherrod-brown","tag-social-justice","tag-values","topics-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Senate Democrats: \u201cShared Values and Common Ground\u201d | July 28, 2010 | Religion &amp;
