Brad Lager: I'm for prayer

Brad Lager says he supports Amendment 2. The news release is printed below.

Today Brad Lager, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, announced his support for Amendment 2, which will appear on the August 7th primary ballot.  Amendment 2 would bolster the following protections in Missouri’s Constitution and ensure:

• That the right of Missouri citizens to express their religious beliefs shall not be infringed;
• That school children have the right to pray and acknowledge God voluntarily in their schools; and
• That all public schools shall display the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution.

“Religious liberty is a founding and fundamental principle of our constitutional form of government,” said Lager.  “Massive government programs, like Obamacare, are trampling on rights that have been afforded to our citizens since the founding of this great country.  Amendment 2 reinforces the rights of Missourians to practice their faith, or not practice any faith, as they see fit.  In the wake of Obamacare, it’s time Missourians make clear that we believe the Constitution means what it says.  Regardless of which candidates you support in the primary, I hope you’ll join me in strengthening our rights to religious liberty by voting YES on Amendment 2.”
