Wilderness Is Not Defined By The Absence

The Spirit Of Christmas Is - And Hopefully Always Will Be - About Goodwill And Generosity To Others And Peace On Earth.

As A People Of Faith, We Know That Prayer Is A Powerful Instrument. And As One Nation Under God, We Know That Many Times Our Most Powerful Tool Is Prayer.

With That In Mind And In Celebration Of National Prayer Day, Today I Have Proposed In The House Of Representatives A Constitutional Amendment That Would Restore Voluntary Prayer In Our Nation's Schools.

For Hundreds Of Millions Of Americans Who Believe In God, Prayer Is Our Bridge Between Earth And Heaven, Our Way Of Opening Our Hearts To The Lord. Through This Intimate Relationship We Find Peace And Guidance.

Wilderness Designations Should Not Be The Result Of A Quid Pro Quo. They Should Rise Or Fall On Their Own Merits.
