The Congressional Hall of Shame
This is a list of over 80 Congressmen and Congresswomen who are working to force the indoctrination of additional millions of Americans into the Step groups through the judiciary and to make all Americans pay for 12-Step religious indoctrination (e.g. "parity" for addiction "treatment"). Some are known to be 12-Step group members (e.g. co-chairs Jim Ramstad (R-MN) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI). The rest are either Step group members, just plain ignorant, or simply could care less about the First Amendment.
There is not a one among them that can be accurately termed a statesman -- a political leader regarded as a disinterested promoter of the public good.
