[bluedog]

**********now can we call our repa and tell them to start taxing the churchs.............

WASHINGTON - Religious charities in 10 states and the District of Columbia got about half of the $2 billion in taxpayer money available to groups deemed `faith-based' by the White House in 2004, according to figures the White House provided Thursday to The Associated Press.

*****Unable to win passage of legislation to accomplish his goal,

Bush has bypassed Congress and made more taxpayer money available to such groups through executive orders and regulations.*****
