Washington, D.C.--"Obviously, the House of Representatives is hopelessly adrift," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Lynn's organization is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, AU represents 60,000 members in all 50 states.
"Our nation faces serious problems, but all the House can offer are pious platitudes and meaningless resolutions," complains the Rev. Lynn. H.Con.Res.94, introduced by Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-Idaho), asserts that the country has rejected God's love and calls on the state and local governments to "observe a day of solemn prayer, fasting and humiliation before God." Continued Lynn, "It's not surprising that the House is considering calling for a national day of prayer and 'humiliation.' Many Americans are already humiliated by the nonsense coming from the House and are praying that members of Congress move on to real issues."
