[Vision2020] Anti-discrimination Ordinances

[Wayne Price]

Tom,

I hate to admit this, but we agree!   Now comes the question of why this sponsorship was afforded to a private organization in the first place by a branch of government, like the Sheriff's department, subsidized by taxes? 

I seriously run into 1st amendment issues, with a government agency, supported by tax dollars, sponsoring ANY group who's basic principles require an oath to " do my duty to God".
Does this mean that those who, for what ever reason, do not believe in "God" are not welcome as they cannot take such an oath in good conscience?
