Republican Mike Huckabee, the once and future presidential candidate, is telling supporters that President Obama's stimulus package is anti-religious.
Why? Because it bans the use of higher education construction grants to modernize, renovate or repair facilities "used for sectarian instruction, religious worship … or a school or department of divinity; or in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission."
"You would think the ACLU drafted this bill," the former Arkansas governor writes.
He urges people to protest to their members of Congress in the short term. "In the long term, we need to kick the Democrats out of Congress," he says.
His pitch: Make contributions, make phone calls, forward his e-mail to 10 supporters. "Let those on Capitol Hill know that we’re outraged that they would take such a cheap shot at people of faith," Huckabee concludes.
