| The following voter
guide is sent to you and
your family by The
Interfaith Alliance, a
faith-based,
non-partisan
organization of religious
leaders and concerned
citizens which draws its
membership from over 45
different faith
communities. The Interfaith Alliance
chose these issues
because we feel they are
the seven most important
concerns for children
and families that were
voted on by the 104th
Congress and are facing
our community.
