Religious right threatens lawsuit over provision of stimulus bill
The key phrase Jay Sekulow hopes you don't notice--and, I suspect, what Don Wildmon hopes you don't notice--is "substantial portion." It would seem to me this section's intent is to prohibit the use of this money to help renovate any building whose primary purpose is religious--that is, an on-campus chapel or something along those lines. DeMint tried to introduce an amendment stripping out this provision--but it failed largely along party lines, 54-43. And yet, according to Thomas, no House Repub tried to cut this out when this bill was under consideration in the House--even though the House Repubs are much more influenced by the religious right than their Senate counterparts. The sad part about it is that a large number of religious right people are already up in arms about this. Remember, you're talking about people who, for the most part, live their lives in a fundie cocoon--homeschooling their kids, filtered Internet service, SkyAngel satellite, etc. Most of them probably rely heavily on CBN and OneNewsNow to get their news.
