God bless America--and God bless our children!

This week (and I'm sure next week as well) the major speakers at the DNC consistently invoke God and children. "God bless American!" "We must assure a better future for our children." "We will assure a better future for our children."

In Denver 51% of children live in poverty--and the numbers are growing.

I'm just asking--for whose children are we assuring a better future?

It's difficult to lay your hands quickly on the exact dollars raised to support a national political convention. But I did discover the $50 million price tag to pay for security.

If that amount's just the tip of the iceberg and 10% was "tithed" back to the children of the host city--how many millions would that be? A drop in the bucket for a growing problem? Yea. A mere gesture? Sure. But at least a footprint left behind to say, "We care about children and this gift to the children of Denver is just a beginning!"

God bless America--and God bless our children. . .crickets!
