I can't support HR 397.....
One of my FB-friends recently posted her support of "We are a Christian nation" to her wall. If there was a Dislike function on Facebook, I would have used it.
In response, I posted on my wall a link to a group on Facebook that I belong to which has expressed ts opposition to a current House resoution: HR 397. (Text of the bill is here, via thomas.loc.gov.) In a nutshell, the bill tries to establish that the Founding Fathers were Christian, and that this nation was founded on Christian principles.
I couldn't disagree more. So I did what any American citizen would do: I sent an email message to my congressman, Rep. Mike Turner, expressing my opposition to the bill. Then I looked at the bill and found out that Rep. Turner is a co-sponsor of the bill.
( Why would I oppose this legislation? )
