    Any group can choose someone to represent them, and to act as a liason through which the group communicates their thoughts. That applies equally well to religious groups as any others.

    As far as sending clergy to the White House, the Bush regime does have an office of Faith-Based Initiatives, which oversees and promotes religious solutions to social problems. It's primarily Christian in make-up, so any non-Christian group is likely to be margianlized, if not outright ignored. But Scalia and Alito say that's Ok, because they're not mainstream religions.

    not the right time to add fuel to the fire.

    bush asked to let the troop feel the support of our country

    bush has expressed his religious desire to fallow faith

    history will rewrite facts so who will be there when it is rewritten into legend, caring is good for supporting both religion and the white hse soon this war will be another war unless u want to talk to me. but see no one wants to talk to me because I'm not the power in the white house so you put those people in there now this is what you got so live with it and let the man do his job and religion will dust off history and share the antiquity of it some day

    I do not believe that would violate the separation of church and state issue. All are entitled to have opinions.

    Citizens should to the work themselves. Go to your town meetings and voice your opinion. Go to church and ask for forgiveness.
