Save the National Day of Prayer Effort Begun

In response to a lawsuit filed last October challenging the federal law that designates the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer (see prior posting), Alliance Defense Fund has begun a "Save the National Day of Prayer" campaign. Through a special website it is encouraging individuals to send a note of encouragement to NDP Task Force chair Shirley Dobson and to sign a petition to President Obama encouraging him to again this year issue a Presidential proclamation declaring a National Day of Prayer. Federal law, 36 USC 119, already requires the President so issue such a proclamation. CitizenLink reported yesterday on ADF's efforts.
