Yeah I'm unconventional christian and I wouldn't like any religion imposed on me either even if it was conventional christianity.
At some time you may have to mention that the Constitution doesn't allow Congress to make any "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Tell them you'd like a moment to meditate or what ever you do, before the meeting too. Test them to see if they're really going to be Constitutional. ;-)
So the governor didn't show huh? That would be a turn off for me too. They need to do what they say they're going to do or don't say it. No integrity. These guys need some serious organization. I'm kind of a organization freak even though it may appear there I have none.
So how many groups are there in your state and how many showed up in your group? Did the leaders or speakers know what they were talking about?
