Call to Abolish Lakeland City Commission Prayers

[Rob Curry]

EllenBeth Wachs and I spoke up at this morning's Lakeland City Commission meeting, explaining why official government prayer is inappropriate, offensive, disrespectful and just plain morally wrong.

Please add your comments or questions here.

How did it go?

Here's a link to Rob's and my appearance before the Lakeland City Commission to protest the practice of invocations. Just scroll down on the right to audience section and you only have to listen to 1 "interesting" man prior to us

Here is the Lakeland Ledger article covering the first protest!! Apparently, we may be making some headway quickly as the City attorney is queasy over reviewing the past practice of how blatantly christian this organization has made this practice.

We now have the one local rabbi and one of their own pastors joining us in requesting a change to a moment of silence
