2007 Drought: What do you think of the governor’s proclamation?

07.6.2007 by Andre Natta · View Comments

Governor Riley’s recent proclamation urging Alabama residents to pray for rain has drawn a wide range of opinions about his use of power. Here are two differing views of last week’s announcement:

Drought stricken Alabama has a prayer for relief, Change of Subject (Chicago Tribune), 7.6.2007

Rain Of Error: Constitutional Drought In Alabama, The Wall of Separation, 7.2.2007

What are your thoughts?

Although I despise Riley because he's a liar, among other things, I think that his asking for prayer for rain isn't a bad thing. I prayed for rain long before Riley asked me to. We need the rain and anyway we can get it will work just fine.
