Is this the same Michael Newdow who co-authored this?

Michael Newdow's from New Jersey?

I wonder if he is connected with the lone, American anthrax suspect the FBI was talking about. The guy who mailed the letter to Daschle had a return address from a New Jersey Elementary school.

What was Newdow doing in 1999, by the way?

Under God" Under Appeal
Physician Michael Newdow of Broward County, Florida, has appealed the dismissal of his 1998 lawsuit seeking to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and restore its original language dating to 1892. The part-time resident of Fort Lauderdale is suing on behalf of his daughter, 5. U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro-Benages dismissed the case because his daughter wasn't yet school-age. Newdow argues that permitting his daughter to sit out the pledge, as provided for by a 1940's Supreme Court case, still subjects her to outsider status and religious dogma in school.

Yes! Same Nednow! He also filed suit before the inaugeration of President Bush, saying that "So Help me God" was the promotion of religion, he's filed suit saying that the prayers at the inaugurations were harmful to him, he's filed suit to get President Bush to stop talking about God and religion in his speeches, he says he is going to file suit to get every mention of God out of the gov't (on the money, in the courts, etc.)
