Regarding Reverend Douglas Brower’s campaign advertisement of May 20, Mr. Brower’s declaration to bring Biblical principles to governance smacks of Trojan Horse theocracy hiding in plain sight.The First Amendment of the Constitution begins, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.” This is also known as the Establishment Clause. The Establishment Clause prohibits the religious abuse of government and the political control of religion, making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote religion with taxes.The Preamble to the Constitution begins, “We the people of the United States.” This means all the people, not some of the people. And not all of the people share. Mr. Brower’s Biblical principles. This is our nation, not his church.Reverend Brower’s religious agenda is in opposition to the First Amendment of the Constitution, and has no place in the governance of these United States.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write(''); Christopher HuntCrescent City googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
