The Good News Today

Vote Only for the Righteous

By John Arcaro

This is a small history lesson for those of you who think “Republican=Good, Democrat=Bad.” Up until the 1960’s, the Democrat Party was the party of the working class.

Through the 1950’s and the early 1960’s, some of the strongest groups of Democrats were Catholics, conservative union workers, and rural women. Many - if not most - Democrats were responsible and religiously observant. In fact, it was scandalous for a good Catholic to be anything but a good Democrat.

Dick talks about creation, then the fall of man - subjects lost on deaf ears in most parts of the region.

Soulfest 08

By Ralph Davis

Part of my role has been to help staff the Good News Today table which displays current and past issues. When not at the table I take advantage of the time to talk to people. The theme of the event this year was “Believers Celebrating True Love, The Revolution Jesus Started.”
