A federal judge declared the National day of Prayer law unconstitutional last month, but the Justice Department is appealing the case on behalf of the White House. People feel it violates the ban on gov. and religion. "The lawsuit against the Obama administration was brought by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a group based in Madison, Wisconsin."I call upon the citizens of our nation to pray, or otherwise give thanks, in accordance with their own faiths and consciences, for our many freedoms and blessings, and I invite all people of faith to join me in asking for God's continued guidance, grace, and protection as we meet the challenges before us," Obama said in his official proclamation."
This is sad that someone would try to go to this much trouble to take away a law like this that doesnt even hurt anyone its a prayer day for all religions not just the christians. Therefor it shouldnt matter and the people who care and are bothered by this should just suck it up and deal with it since it is only one day of the year and not a big problem.
