candidate paul ryan is at odds with some in his catholic faith. as lisa sylvester reports, some in the catholic community do not like ryan linking his budget proposal with the church. 3 --reporter pkg-as follows -- (nats) the nuns on the bus...they traveled 27- hundred miles this summer... (nats) railing against congressman paul ryan's budget proposal that they say would slash social programs and hurt the poor. "congressman ryan claiming that catholicism mantle really set our teeth on edge. and-probably we wouldn't be on the road if he hadn't done that." the nuns were not alone. the us conference of catholic bishops in this letter in april also went on record opposing the ryan budget plan. but ryan argued in a speech at georgetown university this spring that a tight fiscal policy is in keeping with catholic teachings. he argues that when government gets out of the way, local communities and individuals fill the gap. "i don't believe that the preferential option for the poor means a preferential option for big government."

(nats) but now that ryan has been nammd as mitt romney's running mate there's been a fresh round of outcry from catholics who oppose deep slashes in nutrition programs and other safety net programs. michael sean winters is an author and cathhlic journalist. "the church cares about the unborn, the undocumented and the unemployed. if you're an un-in our society, if you're somebody society doesn't take of, the catholic church cares about you, especially." but the story is not so simple because while ryan may alienate some social justice catholics, he does appeal to the so-called family values, anti-abortion catholics. they took issue with president obama's health care plan requirement to offer birth control benefits to employees of rrligious institutions. and a cnn-orc august poll shows that in ryan's home state of wisconsin- 52% of catholics support mitt romney 43 percent back president obama. some say it maa all come down to the catholic vote (reporter: "how important is the catholic swing voter?")

pennsylvania, floridd...hugely large catholic populations. catholics will decide the election." -----end----- cnn.script----- labor day weekend is almost her. here..how many millions of people are going away for the long weekend...and how they will ggt there. there.and ...why ánowá is the best time to trade in that old i-phone.

the long labor day weekend is just around he corner. karin caifa tells us.... even with rising gas priies and a sluggish economy, a nee survey finds americans ready to pack up and go. 3 --reporter pkg-as follows -- the last major travel holiday be a busy one. according to a new forecast from triple-a, 33 million americans will enjoy a labor day weekend getaway at

least 50 miles from home. that's an increase of two- point-nine percent over last year. they'll also speed a little bit more on their long weekends, 749 dollars on average, up from 702 in 20-11. the average trip will be about 626 miles. but about half of travelers will stay a little closer to home, between 100 and 400 miles round-trip. 2.3 million americans will travel byyrail, bus and cruise ship. 2.5 million will take to the skies, thanks to a slight dip in airfares. and the overwhelming majority of travelers will go by car -- 85 percent of them, or about 28-point-two million. that's despite the recent uptick in gas prices. gasoline is still 3-94 per gallon, but higher than when triple-a did its labor day forecasting last august. of those looking to trim travel costs most will skip hotel rooms and stay with family or friends. others will cut their trip a little shorter or take a less expensive mode of

transportation. for consumer watch, i'm karin caifa. -----end-----cnn.script----- apple breaks another re! record!the new achievement... the company is now celebrating. pelebrating.layed off and looking for answers.what teel workers from sparrows point learned last night about their future and the mill's future.
