Below is a political flyer that came in my mail today and I was having a turbulent day, so I wrote my State Senator a little note to let her know that I exist and I want be supporting her!
Dear Ms Diamond,
I am appalled by this political flyer that came in my mail today.
Our government is not a religion AND if it were...it would be made up of many different kinds!
I do not hold your beliefs and yet my ancestors go back as far as the pilgrims and is mixed with the Cherokee...so I believe that I have every right to participate in the American process as much as any person alive today!
This card that I am returning...is an insult to all Americans that live and work in this Country! Flaunting your religion is not a government action and is meant to show exclusion...you belong with a certain ‘clan’...maybe even meant to show your superiority! Our Democracy is not based on any religion NOR is it based on YOUR religion! No religion or LACK thereof...is woven into our democracy.
From this point further, I will work to see that you are not re-elected, before you create more damage to our Democracy! “When a person shows you who they are, believe them!’
This Country of ‘real people’...is made up of many different beliefs and each and every one of us, deserves to be taken seriously and not forced to believe In anything...in order to participate in it’s government!

I had to wonder...
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe she is married to Jesus, like so many other women. He is quite the polygamist in a religion that preaches monogamy!
Bravo! Good on you. This kind of religious pandering and exclusionary tactics to the public is repulsive and should not be tolerated.

You just cannot stop them. They seem more ignorant all the time and now we have four years of nonsense that Trump brought in to try and get rid of.

He isn’t out of sight yet...we still have that!
Good for you. We all need to stand up to what this country is supposed to symbolize not some power hungry, bigoted jerks. I once received a flyer from the local 7th day Adventists. I knew where their meeting hall was and took a copy of the FFRF newsletter along with the flyer and a note saying thank you for telling me of your beliefs and I am returning the favor. Have not heard from them.

The problem is, that the ‘religious right’...is going to crave their religion into our government, inch by inch ...and have us cow-tow like sheep! But, it want work!
@Freedompath Only in their fantasies.
Is that a political flyer . . . or the cover of a country music spiritual album?

...at a quick first glance, I thought it was something from a local church!
Good on you, excellent response! Anyone running or elected to represent the general public is in violation of their oath to service by putting out something like that flier. The more of who are not of those clans should react with the clarity and substance that you did, and copy whomever their government body is run under.

I think its amazing that as a teacher my standards for what I'm allowed to show the public about my private beliefs (and lack their of) is incredibly limited but no other job that I can think of including seated government officials follows such a policy. Amazing.

Thank you!
In 2004 I took part in the local green party caucus. During that meeting there was one fellow that I meet running for a city councelman position. He declared that he was a hunanist I asked him during a break if he can actually support the theoligical positions that will likely be pursued by the citizens that will live in your district? I did not get his answer at the time but wished him well.

Wait until I finish the letter to my sheriff...after he started flying a flag sized Trump banner in his yard where his sheriffs auto is parked...that I must pass often! If this signifies law and order we are in real trouble and Ofcourse I have something to say about the man with a felony warrant out for his arrests...who was shot and killed by police on Tuesday before thanksgiving, in the middle of Deming...which also caused a major crash...
geebush geehobah ghostholes = spirit .....The USA Constitution contains zero "god" words and the 1776 Declaration only mentions: Nature and Nature's god" no mention of bibles walking spirits our holes I side ghosts.....Merry Solstice Ms Diamond, your bigotry of defacto theocracy IS NOT DEJURE

Don’t worry sending my ‘gift cards’ from my Native America charity works well! Makes no difference what they say on them! Lol

Yes, but the uninformed citizen will relate, especially if they are religious. Then the religious pac money will pour in to keep her in office...to saturate our government with religious ideology! See how that works? Religion will draw money from the Evangelicals!
