I'd like Lynn to illustrate how six people of both political parties, comprising 1.1% of the congressional membership, are in any way endangering the Republic. This appears to be a complete non-issue.
Faith baised initiative ring a bell? That is just on the money side. How does this organization feel about it? Do they feel it's a good thing? Or are they like some conservative religious groups who believe that it is an unwelcome marriage between the feds and the church?
There is a money issue here. Opening up federal funds to faith baised ministries, could potentially create a lot of money for a large ministry.
If this was Ford, Microsoft, AT&T or any other group giving subsidized housing to members of congress, the issue would be alot clearer.
I do not like this. I do believe that $600 rent for a room in a $1.1 million spread is subsidized housing, and it needs to stop. I have no problem if these folks actually pay market rate and live there... no subsidies though. It's wrong.
