Dad
regards pledge case as his 'duty' - Sacramento
Bee
Since the ruling, Newdow has made the media rounds. He's
given about a dozen print interviews, chatted on TV morning shows and
listened to irate callers call him names on talk radio. He's tangled
with the hosts of "Crossfire," and explained his views to Connie Chung.
It hasn't been easy -- his views are not popular. Bill O'Reilly of Fox
TV said Newdow "may be the most despised man in America."
- What if "God" was not allowed? What do you picture the
country and your life to be like if Newdow had his way?
- What do you say to someone who's parents reject the very thing they
believe in? How should a child act if their parents reject what they
believe in? How should parents act if they don't agree with the beliefs
of their children?
- What should you do if your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend does
not agree with your beliefs?
- What scriptures come to mind?

local agencies and local police forces. At local and state levels, the
program will be coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
