Phil,

While you (and most of your readers) and I don’t share the same theological views, I agree with you on this one. I contacted both Michigan senators asking for a big Nay vote on this.

>>> â€œBible Thumper Hypocriteâ€ Isnâ€™t that a redundancy?

Not really. As anti-religious as I am, I recognize there are some who *do* walk the walk. That’s why I give all my old stuff to the local Salvation Army store.

Example: while The United Way was holding expensive PR press conferences after Hurricane Katrina, the Salvation Army folks had quietly gone into New Orleans before the rain stopped falling with mobile canteens and field kitchens. They have a military style organization (hence “Army”) that does seem effective in bad situations.

I may not agree with their views on many, well, MOST things, but I can really respect their charitable efforts. They actually have their own ham radio network for disaster relief coordination. I’d rather support that than some overpaid executives at an uber CorporaCharity that trickles 20 cents on a dollar to those that actually need it.

I’m a Specter constituent, and I contacted both his office and Senator Casey’s office. Thank you, Phil.

I don’t know if it’s too late, but I contacted Senators Murray and Cantwell of Washington State as well.

I contacted Senator Biden.
I used your text from the video and included the page The Times-Picayune.

Thanks for the heads-up.
