"The Texas AFL-CIO has a long history of working with religious leaders on issues of mutual concern", said Moeller

Texas Unionists hand in hand with Catholic Nuns rooting for Medicaid Expansion for Texas, the state that has the record of inunsured citizens in the USA. Many of them located in the Southern Part of Texas and in Counties with a Hispanic Population.

The nuns are not confrontational but treat Governor Rick Perry with a lot of Christian Charity and Love :

"We understand that Gov. Perry is moderating his position (on Medicaid) as he sees the needs of real Texans," said Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a national Catholic social justice group. "We just have to give him enough room so he can save face and he'll do the right thing."

The Population is Texas has a big proportion of Catholics, higher than in other states.
