The First Amendment to the <a href="http://irregulartimes.com/constitution.html">Constitution</a> states that <i>"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."</i>  H.R. 2070 is in violation of this part of the Bill of Rights.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If H.R. 3600 succeeds, political candidates and political parties will be able to convert churches and charities into little more than campaign tools.  Power brokers will be able to make donations to campaigns for political office through churches, and then to write off these campaign donations on their taxes.  New corrupt relationships forged by financial transactions between churches and politicians will encourage radical schemes to increase government interference in religious matters, in order to give special advantage to well-connected preachers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 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.]]></description>
