Missouri Voters OK "Right to Pray" Amendment

[Eupher]

I voted for this legislation in yesterday's primary here in MO:

Missouri voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional amendment that supporters said will protect religious freedom.

The measure — Amendment 2 — says Missourians’ right to express religious beliefs can’t be infringed. It protects voluntary prayer in schools and requires public schools to display a copy of the Bill of Rights.

With all but two precincts statewide counted, 779,628 voted yes on the measure and 162,404 voted no, roughly a 5-1 margin.

Many supporters referred to the measure as the “Right to Pray” amendment.

Missouri voters believe “religious liberty is pretty important to them and a high priority,” said Kerry Messer, president of the Missouri Family Network, as the votes were counted. “The public feels like the Supreme Court took this away from them over 50 years ago” with a ruling against mandatory school prayer.

Of course, the whiners and bitchers and moaners are all butthurt about this -- allow me, please, to post a reference to a corresponding thread on CU and my own post over there:
