Pay to Pray

Street Prophets on Justice Sunday III:

Leaders of the Religious Right will be hosting Justice Sunday III this weekend - a rally designed to support the nomination of Samuel Alito Jr to the US Supreme Court.

Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and Tony Perkins are among the Alito allies speaking at the event.

Americans United for the Separation of Church and State notes that Greater Exodus Baptist Church, site of the rally, has received over $1 million in "faith-based" grants since their pastor first endorsed George W. Bush in 2000.

Philadelphia: First Pay to Play, now Pay to Pray.
