During thecampaign, Obama was open about his pro-choice views on abortion. He vowed tooverturn the regressive (and frankly foolish) &#8220;<st1:city w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">Mexico City<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> policy&#8221; and has done so. He saidhe would support the Freedom of Choice Act, and he does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The one area where Obama has stepped away from his campaignpromises is the faith-based initiative. Obama said he would end religiousdiscrimination in these tax-funded programs, but now he is wavering, talkingvaguely about a possible review by the Justice Department somewhere down theline. One would think you would be pleased, yet all you do is continue tocomplain. I&#8217;m beginning to think you don&#8217;t like Obama strictly because he&#8217;s notof your political persuasion and that you will never applaud a single thing hedoes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As for the nuts and bolts of the faith-based initiative,we&#8217;ve been here before. You assert, &#8220;<span style=\"color: black;\">The SupremeCourt has recognized that religious institutions have the constitutional rightto define their own mission, set their own doctrine and set forth their ownhiring criteria.&#8221; As usual, you don&#8217;t tell the whole story. Of course religiousgroups are free to determine their own policies with their <i style=\"\">own money<\/i>. But public funding changes the moral and constitutionalcalculus &#8211; as it should. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\">You are aware of the numerouscontracting firms that exist inside and outside of the <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:city w:st=\"on\">Washington<\/st1:city>, <st1:state w:st=\"on\">D.C.<\/st1:state><\/st1:place>Beltway. They execute contracts for federal agencies &#8211; Education, Labor, Healthand Human Services, Defense and others. These firms are closely monitored bythe feds to make sure they are getting the job done &#8211; and, since the days ofFranklin D. Roosevelt, they have not been permitted to discriminate in hiring. (I&#8217;mtrying to imagine the uproar if one of these firms took $250 million to overseea project for, say, the U.S. Education Department and then said, &#8220;Thanks forthe money. By the way, we won&#8217;t be hiring any people who belong to the DutchReformed Church because, well, we just don&#8217;t like &#8217;em.&#8221;) Why should religiousgroups that accept government contracts expect to get their own sweet deal?Bottom line: If you don&#8217;t want the government regulations and oversight, just don&#8217;ttake the money!<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\">I&#8217;ve never been afraid tocriticize a president with whom I am in accord on many other ideologicalmatters: Obama is wrong, so far, on the faith-based initiative. He&#8217;s messed thisup big time, and if he doesn&#8217;t reverse course soon, it will come back to haunthim. For some inexplicable reason, Obama seems determined to use thefaith-based initiative to woo white evangelicals &#8211; 74 percent of whom did notvote for him &#8211; instead of reforming it to please the people who actually pulleda lever for him in November. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that I don&#8217;t get it.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: black;\">The good news is, more and morepeople are speaking out.

Lynn has served as executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a Washington, D.C.-based organization dedicated to the preservation of the Constitution's religious liberty provisions (www.au.org). In addition to his work as a long-time activist and lawyer in the civil liberties field, Lynn is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, offering him a unique perspective on church-state issues. An accomplished speaker and lecturer, Lynn has appeared frequently on television and radio broadcasts to offer analysis of First Amendment issues. News programs on which Lynn has appeared include PBS's \"NewsHour,\" NBC's \"Today Show,\" Fox News Channel's \"O'Reilly Factor,\" ABC's \"Nightline,\" CNN's \"Crossfire,\" CBS's \"60 Minutes,\" MSNBC's \"Countdown with Keith Olbermann,\" Fox News Channel's \"Hannity & Colmes,\" ABC's \"Good Morning America,\" CNN's \"Larry King Live\" and the national nightly news on NBC, ABC and CBS. On the radio, Lynn serves as host of \"Culture Shocks,\" a daily look at various issues affecting society and the culture. In the 1990s he served for two years as regular co-host of \"Pat Buchanan and Company\" and after that did a weekly syndicated radio program, \"Review of the News,\" with Col. Oliver North. Lynn is a regular guest on nationally broadcast radio programs, including National Public Radio's \"All Things Considered,\" \"Morning Edition\" and \"Talk of the Nation,\" as well as having appeared on national networks such as CBS Radio, CNN Radio, ABC Radio and AP Radio. Lynn began his professional career working at the national office of the United Church of Christ, including a two-year stint as legislative counsel for the Church's Office of Church in Society in Washington, D.C. From 1984 to 1991 he was legislative counsel for the Washington office of the American Civil Liberties Union. In 2006, Lynn authored Piety & Politics: The Right-Wing Assault On Religious Freedom (Harmony Books). In 2008 he coauthored (with C. Welton Gaddy) First Freedom First: A Citizen's Guide to Protecting Religious Liberty and the Separation of Church and State (Beacon Press). Lynn writes frequently on religious liberty issues, and has had essays published in outlets such as USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Nation. Lynn also has op-eds published frequently by the McClatchy and Scripps-Howard newspaper chains. A member of the Washington, D.C. and U.S. Supreme Court bar, Lynn earned his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 1978. In addition, he received his theology degree from Boston University School of Theology in 1973.
