DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!
Despite egregious headlines like "Bush abandons move to exempt religious groups" and "Bush Drops Rule On Hiring of Gays " they are really doing nothing in effect:
[A]dministration officials said their rapid review of the matter convinced them that existing law, along with legislation now before Congress, is sufficient to protect religious charities from anti-discrimination laws.
"The White House hasn't backed down, given in or compromised on anything," said AU's Lynn. "Administration officials know that the Watts bill will allow federally funded employment discrimination, so they had nothing to lose by dropping the proposed regulatory changes."
"They seem to be backing away from the process aspect of this, being in cahoots with the Salvation Army, but they don't seem to be backing away from the substance," said HRC spokesman David Smith. "They seem to be supporting an effort to create a regulatory exemption for religious groups, which we find reprehensible."


WAKE UP AMERICA! & DO SOMETHING!
