PHOENIX - A lawsuit says Arizona has no business in prayer but Governor
Jan Brewer says, “This lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to drive
religious expression from the public square. I will fight it
vigorously."
The people behind a lawsuit filed in court on Tuesday claims Gov. Brewer
violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution when she declared
May 6 the Arizona Day of Prayer.
"I'm not looking to keep anybody from exercising their religion. They
can believe in whatever they want. That's fine. Just don't get the state
involved and don't push it on me," Mike Wasdin said. He is one of the
four plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit with the Freedom from Religion
Foundation.
Wasdin says, "I'm a freedom-minded person. This is more about freedom
than religion with me. I don't like the government telling people, like
myself, what to do."
