Obama Administration Asked to Reverse Bush's Faith-Based Rule

The Baptist Joint Committee, Americans United, the Interfaith Alliance and broad coalition of religious and civic groups have written a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to reverse the Bush Administration's ruling that allowed religious discrimination in tax-payer funded faith-based programs.

The letter says the previous administration misinterpreted the language and intention of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA). Most of the members of the coalition signing the letter to Holder were also members of the coalition that worked for passage of RFRA.
