Imbolc and inclusion in the spiritual aspect of America

Dear Reverends Coughlin and Black,
The Pagan Unity Campaign would like to remind you that "The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation." -- Treaty of Tripoli (1797) signed by John Adams.
This truth is reflected in the 110th US Congress with the election to the House of Representatives of Mazie Hirono and Hank Johnson who are Buddhists and Keith Ellison who is a Muslim.
We would like to strongly encourage you to address other faiths in the exercise of your duties and to call on the Pagan Unity Campaign and other minority faith groups for assistance in addressing all of America’s religious groups.
Sincerely,
Pagan Unity Campaign

On January 4, 2007 the 110th Congress of the United States officially
took office. This Congress is the most religiously diverse
Congress ever; with members from various faiths including a Muslim,
and two Buddhists!

The Pagan Unity Campaign would like to encourage the whole Pagan
community

to join with us on February 2, 2007 to remind our elected
officials of the important role religious diversity and freedom of
religion has, and will continue, to play in our society. Please call,
email, and fax your elected officials on February 2, 2007 and ask
simply for
them to support freedom of religion for ALL Americans.

As Voltaire once said, "If you have two religions in your land, the
two will cut each other's throats; but if you have thirty religions,
they will dwell in peace." With the diversity and hope this new
Congress brings, it is time for all religions to be accepted and
honored in the USA.
