GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Sen. Barack Obama's new support for the federal Faith-Based Initiative will put religious charities under onerous government oversight on hiring and program activities. Acton Institute experts on faith and policy -- who have long been critical of the Bush Administration's outreach to charities with federal dollars -- are available to discuss this important issue.

Key question: Will Obama's faith-based program be used to accelerate the goals of the Religious Left?

Acton experts Jay Richards and Michael Miller are available to discuss this important issue.
