| Description | Dear Rep. Hostettler:
We write to protest, in the strongest terms, your intemperate and objectionable remarks yesterday on the House floor accusing Democrats of "denigrating and demonizing Christians" and suggesting that those who supported language in the Department of Defense Appropriations bill holding the Air Force Academy accountable for inappropriate proselytizing were part of a "long war on Christianity in America."
The American ideal of respect and tolerance for all religious faiths is not a "war on Christianity." It is a fundamental American value and the reason why so many faith traditions have thrived in our country. Our military is a prime example of how Americans of many faiths can come together to serve and protect America, regardless of their differences.
