"...here in our own republic we've already passed legislation that makes it illegal to preach parts of the Bible from the pulpit.

This bill has so much in it that makes it unconstitutional, and should be tested in the courts as soon as possible.

The courts are quick to jump on any display of religion in public places, but thinks nothing of passing legislation that controls religious thought. This presents a double standard that is forbidden by the first amendment.

If religion is to be free of governmental restraints it must stand up to government controls or there will be no religious freedoms.

Is this just a job for the PA Freepers, or since it's really a Constitutional matter, can the rest of us contact our state's congressmen? How does one go about fighting this unless a resident of that state?
