Recently, the Nuns on the Bus campaign offered to have a sit down with Republican presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney.
Sister Simone decided a meeting was absolutely necessary after she concluded that Governor Romney, didn't seem to comprehend the real struggles of average Americans.

Sister Simone Campbell (seen above) stated,
"Recent advertisements and statements from the campaign of Governor Romney demonize families in poverty and reflect woeful ignorance about the challenges faced by tens of millions of American families in these tough economic times.
We are all God's children and equal in God's eyes. Efforts to divide us by class or score political points at the expense of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters reveal the worst side of our country's politics."

I doubt Romney will accept the invitation but
I'm reminded of something msnbc host of The Rachel Maddow Show said,
"I have one thing to say here personally, not as a TV show host here but just as a person who happens to be related to some nuns: don't mess with nuns.
It's not a warning. It's not advice. It's not a threat. It's fact that I have learned from personal experience. Ask anybody in my family, if you mess with nuns, you will lose every time. You will always regret messing with nuns."

Mitt Romney better take note, but then again it would seem that the governor has already given up much of himself for the love of money, so the sisters may have a tougher time then they thought. It never hurts to try though.
