Summary
Learn how you can take action to stop religion from invading our secular government: complain about the bible as the state book of Arkansas, "Choose Life" license plates in Nebraska, a Christian cross in a Florida city hall, state bills banning life-saving research, and the federal attack on women's reproductive rights. After we play the peace/spring anthem "One Sweet Morning" by Yip Harburg and Earl Robinson, FFRF staff attorneys Sam Grover and Patrick Elliott, fresh back from lobbying in DC, tell us what it was like to "Educate Congress" about the school voucher program and the effort to repeal the Johnson Amendment.
