Amber’s true agenda is the promotion of the version of “Separation of Church and State” that is unconstitutional and was clearly not the intention of our nation’s founders. The danger of this perversion of our constitution was well expressed by Thomas Jefferson and is engraved on the memorial that bears his name in Washington D.C.: “God who gave us life gave us liberty.
