Vote on HR 2679 Scheduled for Today [2nd UPDATE]
The Baptist Joint Committee has released a statement on the bill, the "Public Expression of Religion Act," which Bruce mentioned in his great post " Establishment Clause Adult Attention Deficit Disorder" last week, and I've written about previously.
If you are opposed to this kind of election-time religion binge that would empower your local government to flaunt the Establishment Clause with impunity, give your House Rep a call and let them know that people really do care about enforcing this valuable constitutional protection. After the vote, I'll post details in this diary.
[UPDATE: The debate is over in the House. Fabulous speeches by especially Rep. Chet Edwards (D-TX) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) in opposition to the bill. Roll call vote will be later today.]
[UPDATE 2: The bill passed, largely on party lines, 244-173.]
