Obama has sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States and it clearly states that there must be a separation of church and state…. Faith Based government supported initiatives is clearly in violation of the constitution. There are a tremendous amount of competent secular organizations that would be better equipped to help all those in need. Religious groups can do their part by collecting contributions from their congregations to operate their own social services to serve their communities. Leave government out of religion, and RELIGION OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT!

I wish to be helpful to the White House Faith-Based Council. What is the street mailing address for the Council and is there an e-mailing address for Joshua DuBois which you can send to me?
