FAITHFUL AMERICA

Exploiting Religion to Call for the President's Death is Unacceptable You might be surprised to hear that Mike O'Neal, the Republican Speaker of the Kansas State House, is praying for President Obama. Unfortunately, he's praying for the President's death. And he's exploiting the Bible to do so, circulating an email that cites Psalm 109: "Let his days be few; and let another take his office. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow." O'Neal said of the violent Psalm "At last -- I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president." Sadly, it's not unusual for Republican politicians to use vile and hate-filled rhetoric when speaking about President Obama. But when they exploit religion to do so, people of faith have a moral responsibility to condemn it. Sign our petition below demanding that Speaker O'Neal resign immediately! As people of faith, we believe that scripture should never be used to justify praying for the death of anyone. Speaker O'Neal's hateful abuse of scripture is unacceptable and a disgrace to his office, and he should immediately resign.

Mr. O'Neal and I must be praying to different gods. The god I know would not support this activity. 35122 Mon Jan 30 02:25:44 EST 2012 Melah Skoll I will pray for you, Mr. O' Neal. Everything we think, speak and pray for another - it comes back to us. Because in that place within the heart where Jesus lives - so does every heart. I will pray that More....you actually have the experience of being loved by Jesus and by God. Because if you had, you could never have spoken these words, let alone invoked others to as well. 35121 Mon Jan 30 02:23:53 EST 2012 Gaynell McQuillan Just plain ignorant and stupid. 35120 Mon Jan 30 02:23:08 EST 2012 craig hymson Mike O'Neal is a disgrace. 35119 Mon Jan 30 02:22:47 EST 2012 Rene Nourie 35118 Mon Jan 30 02:19:06 EST 2012 Marjorie Gray Your hatred is appaling!

You are a hypocrite, a disgrace and don't deserve to be in office. To use God's Word to show your hatred is despicable. God is love, NOT hate. You have shown yourself to be full of More....hatred. Your prayer didn't go no further than out of your mouth. To disrespect the President in this manner is wrong. You should resign and give President Obama and his family an apology. Shame on you. 35108 Mon Jan 30 02:01:14 EST 2012 Aileen Kirk Mister Speaker, This sort of absurd thinking says to me that you might need some psychological re-evaluation. It's unacceptable to be a leader of any of our nation's people while feeling such deranged More....hostility towards our president. I ask you, please, for your resignation and I sincerely hope that President Obama and the first family sleep soundly despite these disturbing "prayers" of yours. 35107 Mon Jan 30 01:56:00 EST 2012 Roderic Walton 35106 Mon Jan 30 01:52:55 EST 2012 Cecil Doyle Outrageous actions deserve their outcome, Speaker O'Neal.
