Rhode Island’s governor has declared May 1 a “Day of Reason” to recognize the state’s nonbelievers.
Quoted Text
The Humanists of Rhode Island and the Secular Coalition for Rhode Island requested the proclamation, which the Friendly Atheist blog said is virtually identical to others signed by the mayors of Charlotte, N.C., and State College, Pa., and some members of Congress last year.
The proclamation claims the application of reason has “proven to offer hope for human survival upon Earth by cultivating intelligent, moral and ethical interaction among people.”
The secular groups say they’re planning events to coincide with the National Day of Reason, which are being held in parallel with the National Day of Prayer on the same day, to highlight the “persistent threat” to the separation of church and state.

Cissy is against EVERYTHING that involves his our government. He's even against "cultivating intelligent, moral and ethical interaction among people.” In Cissy's world, " intelligent, moral and ethical interaction among people” is always bad.

HELP YOU OUT!!! I've been trying to teach you for years... I doubt there is any "HELPING YOU OUT".
You could try, "intelligent, moral and ethical interaction among people” but you prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else run your govt. If you were concerned with GITMO, then you'd do something about it... instead you just type!

I'll vote for Obama. Since he campaigned to close it. See...Voting does make a difference.
There, I feel moral and ethical, since I cast a vote with the good intentions of closing Gitmo.
YUP! Another Obama failure. It wasn't worth the effort and political capitol it would have taken to do the job. Obama had to fight the PARTY of NO to pass his HISTORIC HEALTH CARE ACT and couldn't burn important resources on GITMO. Instead he opted for affordable health care for 8 million Americans. It's too bad that he couldn't do both.
So... what are you doing to help close GITMO Cissy??? Did you write your congressman, or hold a rally or petition the senate??? Donate your time or your $$$ to your cause??? ANYTHING??? Oh... you just typed... pissin and moanin all the way.

affordable based on who's ethical/moral plumb line?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Not 'the Americans'! An 80year old woman who has been taking Glacoma meds for FOURTY YEARS....has now been denied them via medicare/obamacare. TRUE!!! Someone else has A-fib and has been on zerelto (sp).....they too have been denied access. TRUE!!! The government is not officially GOV ALMIGHTY!! It will be the government who will decide who lives, who dies, when they die and the quality of life they will have! SAD BUT TRUE!
