Most religious groups in USA have lost ground, survey finds - USATODAY.com - 0 views
-
By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY When it comes to religion, the USA is now land of the freelancers. The percentage. of people who call themselves in some way Christian has dropped more than 11% in a generation. The faithful have scattered out of their traditional bases: The Bible Belt is less Baptist. I found it interesting that many religious groups are fading as time goes on. People are less likely to pinpoint a certain religious group that they are affiliated with. I know the Catholic Community took a bit hit in members being proud to say they are catholic when many altar boys were molested by some of their priests. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-03-09-american-religion-ARIS_N.htm

I decided to use my Legislating Change assignment as my resource contribution. I feel that the amount they are asking for is too high, considering many other important funding that has been cut and will continue to be cut. I also feel that the reasons they gave for wanting a raise are an insult to residents who are making do with far less.
