Savage - The flip side of that is that I don't want my tax dollars used for the Bush administration's Faith Based Initiatives as they stand now. Not enough safeguards were built in to prevent the religious organizations receiving government grants from unwanted proselytizing to recipients and religious discrimination in their hiring practices. Obama has said he's in support of keeping the Faith Based Initiatives, but with those safeguards.
