HOUSTON, July 14 (UPI) -- A group advocating separation of church and state has asked a court to bar Texas Gov. Rick Perry from promoting a day of prayer.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Houston, the Houston Chronicle reported. The Wisconsin-based foundation says Perry's active promotion of "The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis" violates the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
