But there has been very little discussion of the equally pernicious and dangerous nature of the Iranian regime.” Accordingly the three lawmakers are proposing to introduce a resolution declaring that legitimizing the existing regime in Iran “stifles the growth of democratic forces” and that “positive gestures” should be directed toward the Iranian people “and not the political figures whose survival depends upon preservation of the current regime.”(Agape Press) Commentary & News Briefs: Last week Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia introduced a U.S. Senate resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the national motto, “In God We Trust.” The measure, Senate Concurrent Resolution 96, resolves “to commemorate, celebrate, and reaffirm the national motto of the United States on the 50th anniversary of its formal adoption.” Brownback, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, says it is important, as the U.S. marks the golden anniversary of its motto, to “recognize the past and future role of America’s reliance on divine providence and fight attempts to remove God from the public square.”Jim Ryun links(Christian Examiner) U.S. House moves to protect rights of military chaplains: The House Armed Services Committee has approved language to protect the right of military chaplains to pray in accordance with their faith.
