New York Governor Snubs National Day of Prayer
We want to make you aware of a slap in the face the governor of New
York has delivered to people of faith all across the country.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer - who just a few days ago promised to sign a bill
to legalize same-sex marriage in his state, should one land on his
desk - apparently has refused to sign a proclamation supporting
Thursday’s observance of the National Day of Prayer. The governors of
the other 49 states have already issued such proclamations,
acknowledging the need for America to unite in prayer. How arrogant
that the governor of New York, which was the target of the vicious
and unprovoked attacks on 9/11, does not believe the people of his
state need divine guidance and protection.
Won’t you take a minute or two - no matter what state you live in -
to let Gov. Spitzer know what you think about his refusal to
acknowledge the National Day of Prayer? Remind him that this country
was founded as a Christian nation - and he will insult and offend
millions if he continues down the path he is on.
You may reach his New York office at: (212) 681-4580.
It appears he does not take phone calls at the state Capitol, but a
number of his key staff members do. Please consider giving them a
call, as well, to register your views on this matter.
