Tell Obama Not to Promote Bigotry
By Lori Lipman Brown, Director, Secular Coalition for America
The Obama administration invites Americans to tell them "what America can be, where President-Elect Obama should lead this country [and] where to start." Obama's choice of Rev. Rick Warren, who has stated that an atheist could not be a good President, to perform the opening invocation at his inauguration ceremony is not a good start for building inclusion and respect with the nontheistic community.
The Secular Coalition for America has sent a letter to the Obama administration expressing our disappointment with his indifference to nontheistic and secular-minded Americans. We urge you to send your own letter to the Obama administration telling them that a good start would be to include nontheistic viewpoints in the inauguration or at the very least, not to embrace speakers who have disparaged us.

Thanks Obama. You really don't care that much about us after all. Instead of planning a happy occasion on inauguration day I will be protesting on behalf of my gay friends and all other victims of these brokeback-type homophobic screwballs. I have a sick, sick, sick feeling about you now.
You have catapulted us back into the fighting and stress we have been saddled with during the Bush administration for 8 years (while you were doing what?). I am so sick of this.
I won't abandon my GLBT friends this time or any other time. Our humanity is measured by how we care for the weakest and downtrodden of us. That's paraphrased from the bible, which you are apparently also unfamiliar with.
In the Judeo-Christian-Muslim religion, the prophets came to reform people like the Brokeback pastor, for their exclusion of others, not to endorse them.
You are not worthy to sit in Reverend Wrights church. YOU are an embarassment compared to him. Go worship with the nutjobs where you apparently belong. You don't belong with true Christians anymore. I can't believe you can raise your kids this way.
