"Instead, the secularists ask courts to banish the historic tradition outright or to so neuter prayers that they become meaningless." I would submit that ANY prayer, if heartfelt, is FAR from meaningless....

I watched the entire press conference on C-SPAN and was impressed by the strength of it. I was unhappily NOT surprised by the paucity of attendance by the press. We have to get the word out. I would encourage every one on this site to watch the video on C-SPAN and then forward the link to their friends and family.

As a country, we are at a crossroad. If, like me, you believe in smaller, more efficient, and less intrusive government, simply vote for me on November 6th.

Thank-you and God Bless America."
