via the Matthew 25 Network.

From their website:

The Matthew 25 Network is a growing community of Christians who insist on a new kind of Christian engagement in our nation’s political process. The core of our political passion rises from Matthew 25:40, in which Jesus tells His followers, “I tell you the truth, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Out of this political passion, the Matthew 25 Network advocates for the public policies that stand for the least of these and to support the political leaders who will champion these policies.

The Matthew 25 Network is sensitive to the fact that Christianity has at times been used in our nation’s politics as a weapon of division and fear. However, our Christianity is one of hope, compassion, and accepting community. We recognize and affirm the freedom of religion established in the same Bill of Rights that permits our participation in government. E Pluribus Unum, Out of Many, One: we work from our many beliefs towards one peaceful and just nation. “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, [we strive] to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
