Petition to resign. 'Kansas GOP House Speaker ‘Prays’ That Obama’s [View all]

Children Be Fatherless And His Wife A Widow’

"You might be surprised to hear that Mike O'Neal, the Republican Speaker of the Kansas State House, is praying for President Obama.

Unfortunately, he's praying for the President's death. And he's exploiting the Bible to do so, circulating an email that quotes Psalm 109: "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow."

Sadly, it's not unusual for Republican politicians to use hate-filled rhetoric when speaking about President Obama. But when they exploit religion to do so, people of faith have a moral responsibility to condemn it.

That's why I just signed Faithful America's petition calling for Speaker O'Neal to resign.

Will you join me and add your name by clicking here?"
