One Last Thing…
A final post before I take off for the weekend. Just got it from Americans United and wanted to share it here:
Illinois May Not Fund Religion, Americans United Warns State Officials
Church-State Watchdog Group Questions $40 Million In Grants To Religious Groups
August 19, 2009
Americans United for Separation of Church and State today challenged Illinois state government’s plan to distribute millions of dollars in state funds to religious organizations.
In a letter to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Americans United insisted that the Constitution clearly forbids the use of public funds to subsidize religion.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn recently signed an infrastructure-improvement bill allocating $40 million in grants to at least 97 religious organizations within the state. The bill fails to place any restrictions on these organizations’ use of the funds.
Hrafnkell Haraldsson is the author of A Heathen’s Day, which since 2005 has addressed the life and thoughts of a modern day Heathen. He is also the founder of the Mos Maiorum Foundation (www.mosmaiorum.org) which is dedicated to the study and support of Paganism as ethnic religion and writes for PoliticusUSA (www.politicususa.com) 
And if they'll do something about "The Family" (C street) we might finally get somewhere. This shit needs to be pulled out by the roots and across the board once and for all.
YEA-AAHH!!
I don't do American politics…except when it affects the UK (Iran/Afganistan/Lockerbie…etc!)
But have a damn fine weekend!!!!!
I agree, Pom, 100%.
Stu, I don't blame you. I'm pretty sick of all politics at this point.
I'll do my best to have a damn fine weekend!
