According the Jim Walis' blog at Sojourner's

"The Circle of Protection, composed of Christian leaders from across the religious spectrum, released President Barack Obama's and GOP nominee Mitt Romney's video responses today at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
"'For years Christians have been separated by elections, but finally, we have a common ground moral issue: poverty,' said Jim Wallis, president and CEO of Sojourners. '… It’s because of this unprecedented unity around those whom Jesus called the least of these that the Presidential candidates felt they had to respond.”' 


"'Christian leaders asked, and the presidential nominees answered. The poverty rate in America is still at a staggering 15 percent and 46.2 million Americans remain in poverty — what is your plan to address the problem?'
