US Senator asks for a Bill to Mandate SUNDAY Church Attendance! (March 2015)
It wasn’t so long ago that saying such a thing would be almost unthinkable.
Has everyone forgotten that people were persecuted and killed because they wouldn’t comply with the “state” religion of the day, during the “Dark Ages”….Catholicism.
Liberty of conscience WAS (past-tense) considered ultimate freedom to choose or not choose, as you were inclined to do in the U.S.
Did she apologize? Nope.
Is is just me or did she seem to be “testing the waters”?

From Wikipedia:
Sylvia Allen Controversy
Allen was fined in 2004 for violation of Arizona’s Clean Elections law.
During her tenure as a county supervisor, Allen attempted to interfere with an internal investigation into the conduct of her son-in-law, a detention officer, with female inmates in the Navajo County jail, where he worked. K.C. Clark, the Navajo County Sheriff, threatened to arrest her if she continued to interfere. In March 2015, Allen filed a senate bill that would provide detention officers, like her son-in-law, with greater protections from disciplinary investigations.
