Catholic nuns bringing anti-budget cutting message to Michigan this week


Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney isn’t the only one with a bus tour passing through Michigan this week.
A group of Catholic nuns will be touring the state to criticize Republican plans to cut federal spending.
The Nuns on the Bus tour started over the weekend in Iowa and will reach Michigan by Friday.    The bus tour has stops planned in Grand Rapids, Jackson and Detroit.
While in Michigan, the group plans to demonstrate outside the offices of two Republican congressmen who voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program, and cap non-defense spending.
