OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) -- Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern used the
Statehouse as a backdrop for the release of a proclamation urging the
United States to return to biblical values.
Kern drew about 250 people Thursday, some to support her and sign her
proclamation while a smaller group came to protest it, the Daily
Oklahoman reported. Critics said she violated separation of church and
state by holding the event in the Capitol.
The proclamation criticizes President Barack Obama for not taking a
more active role in the National Day of Prayer and blames the economic
slump on moral failure.
"This nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion,
pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate
births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery," it says.
Only four members of Oklahoma's 149-member state Legislature joined
Kern, all Republicans.
Protesters chanted "Shame on you" and "Love thy neighbor." Kern's
supporters responded by singing "God Bless America."
The exchange became so noisy Kern ended the event and moved a news
conference into the press office.
