To Jack Franks from Rob
Sherman:

I request that the Committee
or the House censure Rep.
Davis for her abusive and
irrational remarks towards me.
She has embarrassed the
Illinois House of
Representative to the rest of
the State and, quite
literally, to the entire world
by making the institution look
like it's a bunch
more

To Jack Franks from Rob
Sherman:

I request that the Committee
or the House censure Rep.
Davis for her abusive and
irrational remarks towards me.
She has embarrassed the
Illinois House of
Representative to the rest of
the State and, quite
literally, to the entire world
by making the institution look
like it's a bunch of religious
fanatic right-wing wackos.
News of her remarks are
literally circulating around
the world in newspapers and on
numerous web sites, which I
can provide you links to.
Illinois does not need this
kind of embarrassment. It
could be bad for tourism.

I ask that the House or your
Committee dis-associate
yourselves from her remarks
with a censor that says that
her remarks were
inappropriate, do not reflect
the sentiments of the
institution nor of the People
of Illinois, and with an
apology to me. Her remarks are
more befitting a legislature
in Iran, not one in America.

I've gone to bat for you on
the million dollar Pilgrim
Baptist fiasco. Is there
anything that is doable
regarding Davis' comments that
you can initiate or sponsor?
It's as if Rep. Davis spells
'Illinois' with only four
letters: I-R-A-N.

-Rob Sherman

It's a good thing Rep. Davis
was bashing atheists and not
another religion, otherwise
she would be out of a job. We
have some work to do before we
can restore our religious
freedom (i.e. seperation of
church and state).

And I would hope that all
people of all faiths would
denounce this type of bigotry,
because with representatives
who think this way, it isn't
long before we have a
theocracy. By then, it will be
too late to preserve our
freedom of religion.

On 9 April '08 Rep. Davis
officially apologized to Rob
Sherman for her attack against
him and atheism in general.
