Soon the government will claim that any mortgage held by Fannie Mae means that the government owns the home, and to hold a simple prayer meeting will mean violating church and state laws.

What “organization that receives federal funds” is holding these services? That’s a misreading of the law - but of course we know that this is just the way that Obama’s minions WANT to read the law.

This is so clear cut, the ACLU should get involved.
What are they going to say next, you have to right to free speech because you’re on Gov’t Property?

Isn’t that private property?
How long before those who get food stamps are banned from going to church or having bibles?

The American way isn’t to prohibit religious services in the common area. It is to allow anyone to hold religious services in the common area.
If someone wants to hold a Jewish service, Muslim service, Hindu service, Wicca service, or any service they should be able to.

"We just want to be sure, as in all cases, that we're following HUD regulations to ensure that we do not lose the subsidy for the residents' apartments," said Matthews. "That's of utmost importance."Err...not, it's not.

I guess if you get a Cash 4 Clunkers car you better not go to church in it.

The Bill of Rights prevents this action.

The ACLU has no problem with the WH snitch line do they? The ACLU doesn’t do what some people think it does.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." I think they have a nice lawsuit if someone will take it up for them. As long as no one was forcing anyone to attend, I think what they were doing is perfectly legal. All that said, if you live in public housing, you have pretty much turned your life over to the government to control.

“To me, it’s stepping on our constitutional rights. You’re supposed to be able to worship like you want,” said Howard Embler, an Elm Towers resident who sometimes attended the services. “We’ve got a lot of elderly people here who can’t get out on their own to church.”
Yes, we have Freedom of Religion.
WHO is behind this?
Hmmmmm?

Prelude to religious hospitals under public run health system? Will they have to cease church and temple services onsite? Prevent religious people from entering the hospital to comfort people with readings from the Bible or religious songs? I'm 100% certain this will happen over time in a public run health care system.

“The housing authority learned of the services after other Elm Towers residents complained last month. The agency then put a stop to the services. “
And just WHO are these resident complaining?
Muslims?
Atheists?
Oboma suppoters?
THIS needs to be highlighted.
Send it to Rush or any conservatives you can think of.

So, the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply on this public property, either.
