3:00 e.s.t. Press Conference

I am listening to the Press Conference. Tony Perkins, head of FRC spoke first making it clear that no 0ne wishes for a theocracy, but only that judges not be forced to "Check their faith at the door."

The pastor of this Church, Herbert Lusk, a former Philadephia Eagles football player, spoke next. He explained that he offers his Church to FRC not because of Bush, or Falwell, or Perkins, but because if he feels this is the right thing to do. He says that this is not about himself, but about Jesus. He ended by saying his father taught him to teach love, teach to give, and the world will come to you. "hello world."

Nice.

Charmain Yoest spoke next (looking lovely I might add) referring to the fact that the phrase "under God" in the pledge of alligience being under attack as an example of religious liberties being diminished.

Pastor Lusk spoke briefly at the end, saying this is not a black/white issue, not a liberal/conservative issue, but about freedom of religion and religious liberties and most of all about rightiouness
