DC Lobbyist For Secular Views

A Washington, D.C. lobbyist to represent the rights of humanists, atheists and other freethinkers has been hired by the Secular Coalition for America. Humanist Network News reported yesterday that Lori Lipman Brown, a former Nevada state senator, will serve as the Coalition's first director/lobbyist. In announcing the appointment, Herb Silverman, president of the Secular Coalition said: "Bias against nonbelievers is the last civil rights struggle in which blatant discrimination by politicians is viewed as acceptable behavior. That situation is about to change."
