This morning a distinguished group of Catholic and evangelical leaders called on President Bush to use his final State of the Union and last year in office to pursue an agenda that will improve his tarnished moral legacy. Ron Sider, Father Larry Snyder, Paul de Vries, Sister Anne Curtis, and David Gushee told the president how he can redress his stances and policies on domestic and global poverty, global warming, Iraq and torture, respectively.

The audio recording of the press conference call is available here.

Everyone on the call expressed in concrete terms what the moral agenda for Bush's last year should be, and spoke compellingly about why it's so necessary. I listened in live, and it was an edifying addition to an already bright morning.
