PERA Legistlation Passed the House

The House passed the PERA bill yesterday, 244-173. See the AU press release, and DefCon. See the 244 people who voted for theocracy, and the 173 who voted against it (see all votes). Perhaps you recall the last election, which was won by getting the Religious Right stirred up? Well, this is a little shot in the arm for their RR base.

Hold your reps accountable for taking the first step towards dismantling our freedom to bring litigation to ensure the Establishment Clause is held up. I'm going to paste all of their names below the fold, including the names of the pathetic 19/25 Florida Reps who voted for the bill.

Please use this form to notify your Senators and Representatives (yes, even though the latter already voted), it will only take a few moments of your time. This bill must be stopped in the Senate.

That's right, folks. Only 5 out of 25 voted to uphold the Constitutional right to sue the government for breach of the 1st Amendment, and 1 abstained from voting. The rest of these scum-suckers (19/25) handed the Religious Right yet another election year gift. Sorry, but I'm nauseated. Let your Congressmen and Congresswomen know what you think on this issue. Please.
