Congressman Forbes' Statement on Federal Judge's Decision Calling 'National Day of Prayer' Unconstitutional
Contact: Jessica Mancari, 202-225-6365
WASHINGTON, April 16 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) today criticized a decision by U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb, which found the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional:
- "Throughout our nation's history, prayer and religion have been deeply woven into the foundation of our great democracy. The federal judge's decision to call the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional represents a movement we are seeing across the country of a small minority who want to exclude faith, religion, and morality from the marketplace of ideas.
"Not only does the decision undermine our Declaration of Independence and take an opposite view point of so many great leaders throughout our nation's history, but it seeks to unravel that very foundation our nation was built upon.
"I, along with Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, will continue to fight this decision -- it is just too important of an issue."
Congressman Randy Forbes is Chairman and Founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus.
