The \u201cVoting Our Values\u201d rally, which Sojourners sponsored along with Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, We Believe Ohio, and Let Justice Roll, drew a crowd, with more than 500 in attendance.

Pastor Rich Nathan of the Vineyard Church also spoke; we\u2019ll post his remarks on Monday.<\/p>\n
