WASHINGTON — Concerned that Democrats are seen as a party that is hostile or ambivalent toward religion, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid July 19 unveiled a new Web site with “A Word to the Faithful.”
The Web site — http://democrats.senate.gov/faith.html — features photos of Reid meeting with mainline Protestant and Catholic leaders, as well as statements on the National Day of Prayer and Holocaust Memorial Day, among others.
“It’s part of how we’re reaching out differently, just to make sure people of faith know how much they have in common with Democrats in Congress and with Democratic values,” said Reid spokeswoman Tessa Hafen.
