| Message | the CWFP is ADAMANTLY opposed to #3. If citzens wish to FREELY associate and say a prayer in their LOCAL public school, why can't they have that basic FREEDOM??? |

| Message | ....still opposed to Article #3; The Government ABSOLUTELY has no right to tell religious schools they are "permitted" to pray; it should not even be a subject of negotiation. LOCAL public schools should decide on issues of VOLUNTARY communal prayer. |

| Message | Why should the 'local' level be any better than the national? Either one rule is fair across the board, or you really need to analyse on a school-by-school basis. This idea that you can get some kind of realistic response at a 'local' level is like milktoast nationalism. |
