A week after Barack Obama coasted to victory, but two months before he takes office, religious groups and leaders are speaking out to keep their issues on the president's agenda. A quick, not-at-all-comprehensive rundown:

Social justice:

the Reform Jewish Movement is deeply committed to advancing our country and our communities through tikkun olam, the repair of our world. As we commend you on your electoral victory, we eagerly anticipate working closely with you and your administration to better the United States economically, heal its divisions, enrich it morally, strengthen it internationally and focus on critical issues such as health care, immigration, poverty, foreign relations and civil rights.

Compassion and the common good:

Centrist and progressive Christian leaders believe we have been called to advocate for peace and justice and to protect the vulnerable—from the unborn to senior citizens, from the poor in American cities to the desperately poor in African villages. Even during this financial downturn we are calling our constituencies to give generously of their money and their time. We ask and pray that you will similarly call your constituency—the American people—to wholehearted and personal sacrifice for the good of this country and the world.

Torture:

An extensive network of religious leaders [NRCAT] will begin a lobbying campaign to get President-elect Barack Obama to issue an executive order banning torture as one of his first acts Wednesday.

Abortion reduction:

I hope that an Obama administration is going to prove to religious Americans that supported him that he's going to provide common ground on the abortion issue. He spoke directly about wanting to reduce the number of abortions and it's one of the first things people are looking for: How is he going to legislate and lead on that issue?
