Support Civil Rights: Oppose the Faith-Based Initiative!

Two months ago, President Bush bypassed Congress and through executive fiat implemented his program for government-funded religion, a scheme that Capitol Hill had repeatedly rejected.  By executive order, he not only ensured that public money was available to religious groups, but also that they were entitled to fund discriminatory practices with that money.  Now, some Senators are trying to worsen an already bad situation.

Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) have re-introduced their government-funded religion bill and are pushing for quick Senate action. 

Take Action now!  Your actions in the last Congress stopped discriminatory legislation from passing, forcing Bush to act by executive order.  You can continue to stop discrimination by opposing the CARE Act!  Click here to get more information and to send a free fax.
