Info from AU: The dangers of Richard Honaker and others like him!

Richard Honaker was recently appointed by President Bush to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Aside from being a Republican, he and his supporters are EXTREMELY Christian and dangerously Evangelical! He is loudly and unapologetically unsupportive of reproductive freedom and "minority" religions. Honaker is quoted on record as saying that "....If taught accurately, history can teach us that the greatest American patriots and leaders were Christian hence, there is a Christian basis for all American institutions in law, government and business". Really? Let's dissect this horrible falsehood, shall we? First and foremost, anyone in position to "rule" (like a judge for example) must, by Constitutional be completely "blind" to religion, sex, orientation, etc....Clearly, this statement applies to none of the above. Honaker clearly has adopted the Christian faith as his "ruling guide" as opposed to the American Constitution which he is legally bound to uphold above all! Secondly, the great American patriots and leaders of which Honaker speakes, our forefathers, faught the Revolutionary War to separate our nation from the Church of England, the Anglican Church, and make WAY for the First Amendment rights guarenteed to ALL AMERICANS - one being the right to practice whatever religion one saw fit! Third, I am interested to know how Honaker plans to "contol" reproductive freedom - it is not possible in this country nor our neighboring countries to whom make such services readily availible. Birth control, abortion, etc..are a person's CHOICE and have no place being dictated by a government official. I have personal stake in this issue and am PASSIONATE about keeping Roe v. Wade right as it is! And last but not least - I'd like to ask Mr. Honaker how he defines "minority religions"...the Supreme Court of the US lists over 300 recognized religions from all over the world - who decides which is a "minority" - a clarly uneducated, biased christian? Hm, define irony! Good citizens of Wyoming, do not allow this man to sit on the Senate Judiciary Commitee in your state! Take action against this blatent disreguard for First Admendemtn rights....for everyone else, let this be a lesson, research your chosen officials - and excersize your right to protest as needed!
