| Traveling Ten Commandments |
| (Columbia-AP) -- More than a hundred people
gathered at the Statehouse steps on Tuesday to protest court
decisions that have blocked public displays of the Ten Commandments. Members of the "Keep the Commandments Caravan" are stopping in five states to rally support around the display of the Ten Commandments. Rally leaders asked supporters to sign online petitions and follow the group to Washington to march on the steps of the Supreme Court. David Kennison is South Carolina's member of the National Board of Directors of the ACLU. Kennison says he's concerned that religious freedom is being threatened by people who falsely believe support from the government advances the cause of religion. Rally organizers say Governor Mark Sanford was invited to speak at the rally but did not attend. Sanford spokesman Will Folks says the governor had other meetings scheduled for the day. |
