A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Speaker, I recall that Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition announced his group's new Samaritan Project which was dubbed as a very bold and compassionate plan to combat poverty and to restore hope, and that project, the Samaritan Project, actually took aim at the economic and moral deficits that pervade a lot of the black and Hispanic inner city neighborhoods.
