EXCLUSIVE: Legislation being pushed by allies of the controversial group behind the National Prayer Breakfast would relocate the event to the symbolic heart of the U.S. Congress: The Capitol rotunda. The bill would do exactly what its title says: “Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for the National Prayer Breakfast.” It was introduced by Rep. Tracey Mann (R-KS) and its sole co-sponsor is Rep. Frank Mrvan (D-IN).
IMO this is giving The Fellowship/Family preferential treatment by allowing them to regain access to lawmakers & in giving them use of the rotunda of the Capitol. It is favoring on religion over all the others & a clear violation of the constitution & 1st amendment. I get that technically they are not establishing a national or prohibiting the practice of a religion, but this is the kind of action that makes the slope super slippery.
Great to hear you talk about this on Zerlina’a show today. I hope we see this defeated in a big way.
Thanks so much for tuning in and sharing your thoughts!

Thanks, Dyonne... we'll see if it passes!
