Washington Interfaith Network Says It Will Hold D.C. Politicians Accountable

As far as the District’s local political spectacle goes, it’s awful hard to beat a Washington Interfaith Network “action.”It’s bully democracy in the best sense, with politicians forced to stand in front of huge swaths of voters and answer simple questions with a yes or no.Such was the scene Monday night atMetropolitan AME Church, where WIN held what it called its  largest action to date, packing the historic downtown building to the rafters with an estimated 2,000 members representing dozens of churches, community groups and unions — perhaps the city’s best-organized political counterbalance to business interests.
