This wasteful and egregious threat to the First Amendment has popped up in several places recently. Over at Heaving Dead Cats, there is a good post explaining what Congressman Dan Lungren is proposing in a resolution, along with links for the full text of the bill and a history of the slogan in question, among others.
This also came to my attention through the West Virginia Atheists group, which copied a press release from American Atheists. Apparently, according to American Atheists, A House committee has already approved the religious slogans!
Govtrack has the status of the resolution, along with lots of information as well.
Back at Heaving Dead Cats, there is a link to Take Action Now that you can follow, which is from the Secular Coalition for America. There you can edit and send a letter to your Representatives telling them to vote No on this inappropriate promotion of religion.
Please either follow the link above to take action, or go to Heaving Dead Cats to read the full article then take action through there.
You can also Google the resolution: H. Con. Res. 131
I’ve sent my letter through the SCA. Feel free to comment below with your thoughts.
