Pledge Protection Bill Passes
The Pledge Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 2389) passed today by a vote of 260-167 in the house. Denny Hasset urged the Senate to take the same action,
"I am pleased the House was able to pass this legislation and demonstrate to the American people our commitment to uphold the principles on which this country was founded. I urge the Senate to take up this measure", Hassert said.
The pledge protection act became a way for our lawmakers to ensure the religous history of our country would not, scratch that, could not be impuned by an activist federal judge. Todd Akin (R-MO) was the congressman who introduced the bill. There are opponents of the measure who believe wrongly that this is a violation of seperation of powers and of the left's fictitious interpertation of our constitutions establishment clause. They claim it is an attempt by congress to force a pluralistic society into a "one-size-fits-all set of beliefs". Supporters of the bill say that is complete nonsense and have this to say in its defense.
Uncle Tim's says HoooRAH!! and will continue pray for this and other issues to get through congress and the senate in days to come
