Colorado Lawmaker Chosen
By Michelle Boorstein
President Obama has picked a Colorado lawmaker to be director of the faith-based office at the Department of Education.
Peter Groff, who is president of the Colorado Senate and a radio talk show host, will be one of the leaders for Obama's Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives based in a government agency. President Bush had the same set-up - 11 faith-based offices in different agencies including Education, Labor, Health and Human Services and Justice.
Groff's job will be to help faith-based and community groups further the president's education goals.

Will Obama's "Faith Based Team" include Baptists who remain silent while the Church using their name in Westboro, Kansas, continues to practice radical Christian terrorism against gays and at the funerals of our service people?
Neochristians who would howl if taxpayer money were given to radical Muslim groups look the other way while taxpayer money is given to Christian groups with the same characteristics.
Until Baptists denounce the hatred and terrorism of their own, they should be excluded from receiving any federal funds.
