Jim Wallis of Sojourners

Summary (posts follow):

Jim Wallis is a far-left religious leader associated with Sojourners and with Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. He's a past or present Marxist; see this. Currently serving on Obama's Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships advisory board.

Discrediting Wallis over immigration matters would be easy and would have a great impact on the abilities of religious leaders to support illegal activity. His parishioners should be urged to publicly confront him (on video) with tough questions about his positions.

Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform - 5/07/2007

... Reform is a new group headed up by Jim Wallis, and they're wrong. In order to promote legalization for all as well as a "guest" worker program, they'll be conducting an ad campaign, letter writing effort, and most likely advocating from the pulpit.
