We Won't Back Down

We Won't Back Down

We mourn the death of freethinking singer/songwriter Tom Petty ("music is my religion") by playing "I Won't Back Down," appropriate for a week of state/church victories. Staff attorney Patrick Elliott tells us about last week's federal decision declaring a Christian cross on the Lehigh County (PA) seal unconstitutional. Attorneys Sam Grover and Andrew Seidel compare the First Amendment with the Second Amendment as they are both being inappropriately "expanded" into absolute rights. Then we talk with David Williamson, president of FFRF's chapter, the Central Florida Freethought Community, about our victory (in which he was lead plaintiff) declaring unconstitutional the exclusion of atheists from Brevard County council invocations.
