During a prayer vigil for "moral budget" today in the Capitol Rotunda, 114 people were arrested. The vigil was led by evangelist Jim Wallis of Call to Renewal, and it was one of approximately 63 prayer vigils taking place across the country today. Participants were acting in response to Congressional votes on the budget and tax reconciliation bills. The bills, which slash funding for social programs and give tax breaks to the wealthy, have been the point of much contention over the past few months. Congress is currently trying to reach final conference negotiations on the bills, however it is still unknown whether they will be able to do so this late in the year. Many GOP leaders have hinted that completing the negotiations will be difficult, including Senate Budget Committee Chairman Judd Gregg (R-NH), who recently said, "I don't sense that we can restructure this thing at this late date."
