520			_a"Have faith. End hunger. Ending hunger is a moral imperative that does not stand alone. Hunger thrives on the racial, social, and economic inequalities that are eating away at the soul of our nation and pulling us apart. But ending hunger could now become the cause that brings us together across partisan lines to make our economy include everyone and work for everybody. The goal of ending hunger nationwide is not only noble but easily within reach. Taking up this goal could give us a corrective lens, a lens of hope for seeing ourselves and our country in a new way. It could also give us better vision for helping the world overcome extreme hunger and poverty. Our failure to speak and write to members of Congress about hunger consigns millions of people here and abroad to diminished lives and premature death, so it is a silence that kills. We can break that silence by urging the nation's leaders to help end hunger and humanize our economy. This book addresses all people of goodwill, including agnostics and atheists, but with a special word of concern for religious people--Christians in particular--who help through charity, but neglect to use the power of their citizenship against hunger"-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"This book urges citizens to enlist government leaders to end hunger in this country and abroad and to address the nation's racial, social, and economic inequalities. The book affirms the role of charity in responding to these needs but explains why government leadership, now lagging, is essential. In the face of dangerous inequality extremes and political dysfunctions, it proposes an alternative vision for the nation, a moral center that could unite us and celebrate the nation's founding ideals"-- _cProvided by publisher.
