Peter Stark To Address Reason Rally

Posted on February 2 2012 by Congress Watcher

This year, secular Americans are holding an event that provides a counterpoint to the National Day of Prayer. On March 24 on the National Mall, the largest ever gathering of secular Americans will take place. They’re calling it the Reason Rally.

Only 26 Stand For Separation Of Church And State In Congress

Posted on January 25 2012 by Congress Watcher

It isn’t just historically inaccurate to create a public display claiming that World War II was a religious crusade. It’s also unconstitutional. The First Amendment to the Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” H.R. 2070 is in violation of this part of the Bill of Rights.

Congress Votes To Drag USA Back To Religious Unity

Posted on November 2 2011 by Congress Watcher

The truth is that there is increasing distrust in the idea of God in the United States, and increasing disagreement on religious issues. If Congress passes any resolution on the subject, it should be to reaffirm that the government should simply stay out of religious affairs, and neither promote nor oppose any religious beliefs. The U.S. House of Representatives couldn’t help itself yesterday, though, and so it voted overwhelmingly to pass H. Con. Res. 13.

Posted on October 26 2011 by Congress Watcher

Posted on September 25 2011 by Congress Watcher

Peter Stark Links Libya War With Cuts To Medicare

Posted on June 5 2011 by Congress Watcher

Putting aside considerations of the rule of law, Peter Stark has shown that economic arguments can be a serious component of arguments against the continuation of Obama’s Libyan blunder.

Democrats In Congress Advance Preschool For All Children

Posted on February 10 2011 by Congress Watcher

Sensible new legislation would not create any big government system of nationally uniform preschool education. Rather, it would simply establish support for state governments in their efforts to provide year-round school that’s universally available, but not mandatory, for three, four and five year-olds.

Bipartisan Coalition Attempts To Force US Military Out Of Pakistan

Posted on July 28 2010 by Congress Watcher

H. Con. Res. 301 would have required a complete American military pullout from Pakistan by the end of this December.

Status of the Equal Rights Amendment

Posted on May 28 2008 by Congress Watcher

You are probably not aware of it, but the Equal Rights Amendment did not die back in the 1980s. It has been brought back to the House of Representatives and to the Senate.
