    I think that a more important action was taken by a coalition of Evangelical Christians & Catholic Bishops . The Manhattan Declartion was signed. For more info visit

    There you can read the declaration & sign it, if you agree.

    A couple of days ago, Glenn posted a quote by one of our founding fathers, I think it may have been George Washington, which in effect stated that a Nation which losses its morality will cease to exist. The Progressive/Liberal movement has no moral values.
