(CNN) - Religious progressive groups are scheduled to hold a conference call with the Obama campaign Saturday morning as they prepare their case against Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's newly minted Republican vice presidential pick.

The Democratic organizations, including progressive Evangelical Christian groups, have criticized Ryan's principles and his budget proposals they say will negatively impact the poor's safety net.

A video released by American Values Network linked Ryan, the Wisconsin congressman, to author Ayn Rand to make their point.

While Rand supported individual rights and limited government, she also largely rejected faith and religion.

5. The case against Ryan is already well laid out

and has been for quite a while. How typical of you to try to give all the credit to "liberal" and "progressive" Xstians for doing anything that matters, while COMPLETELY and dishonestly ignoring the fact that if it weren't for the support of Republican candidates by conservative Christians, you wouldn't even have to pretend that this meant anything.
