President Bush declares today 'Religious Freedom Day'

President Bush has proclaimed today (Tuesday January 16th) as "Religious Freedom Day." In the presidential proclamation, Bush said today commemorates the passage of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which was written by Thomas Jefferson, and to celebrate the First Amendment's protection of the right to worship freely.

The proclamation notes that people in other parts of the world don't enjoy the same liberty, and many face religious persecution. Bush calls the freedom of worship" a gift from the Almighty", and he says the United States, quote, "Must continue to promote the importance of religious freedom at home and abroad."

You've posted a fabulous and meaningful Dose, ((Justa)) and your personal account at Walter Reed had me teary-eyed. Thanks so much for tonight's Dose. Please know that your hard work is truly appreciated. You can tell me in FRmail how many hours it took to put it together. :0)

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks much for your kind words. Chad is a very special man with a tremendous sense of humor. Probably why he likes the President so much!

[Just A Nobody]

I don't know ohio. I haven't been on the internet to speak of for days.

[snugs]

Fired up is OK but irrational and bigoted I cannot be bothered with.

[snugs]

I think it is a 3 day visit from photo captions yesterday but I do not always trust those.

I called & left a message on his answering machine telling him that all at the Dose were concerned about him & we hoped he would either call, email or have his wife do so.

Prayers for our FRiend!

[snugs]

Thanks Dolly

Yes, I finally met Chad last Friday and he told me all about his upcoming visit to the White House. They were so excited! I had met the rest of his family a few weeks ago. They were all in much better spirits this time.

[Just A Nobody]

Thank YOU for stopping by. ;*)
