The National Day of Prayer (36 U.S.C. § 119) is a day designated by the United States Congress when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation“. The law formalizing its observance was enacted in 1952, and is being challenged in court.
On April 15, 2010, United States District Court Judge Barbara Crabb, for the Western District of Wisconsin, struck down the National Day of Prayer statute, 36 U.S.C. § 119, as violating the Establishment Clause. Judge Crabb ruled that the statute serves no secular purpose, but rather calls the nation to engage in a religious exercise – prayer.
The National Day of Prayer belongs to Americans. It is a tradition that dates back to 1775 and it is not for a Judge to take away. We the people called for the day of prayer and for 59 years we have practiced our freedom to gather and pray.
This is an attack upon our religious freedoms and it is a sad day in America when an atheist in Wisconsin can undermine this tradition for millions of others who simply wish to join their fellow citizens in praying for their country.
The National Day of Prayer provides an opportunity for all Americans to pray voluntarily according to their own faith – it does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
This video was sent to me and if it wasn’t for the fact it is probably a reasonably accurate depiction of the budget deficit, it would be funny. It’s a great illustration of the Federal Budget, the deficit and Obama’s recent promise to cut $100 Million from the budget.
OK, I’ll admit it, I couldn’t figure out a way to write about this on any of the real estate blogs I write for so I had to write about it here.
I really didn’t think there could be a Congressman that could say something dumber than the things I have heard Rep Maxine Waters say in the past, but this morning that all changed. Rep Hank Johnson proved he may know less than Rep Waters when he asked Admiral Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, about the impact of U.S. troops on the island of Guam and expressed his concern that “… the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” …Yep, he said it, you have to watch the video below! Oh yeah, kudos to Admiral Willard for somehow being able to restrain but busting out loud with laughter…he actually kept his composure and assured the Congressman that the island was not going to tip over.
