Response from CWA

I just got this response to my e-mail from Amelia Wigton at CWA:

Actually, the quote was worded this way:

Swann said, "As Americans commemorate Flag Day, it is also appropriate
to remember the importance of keeping God in our Pledge. CWA strongly
supports the mention of God in our nation's oath in keeping with our
constitutional freedoms. We are free from an established religion and
free to worship as we choose. Men of faith intentionally included the
phrase 'under God' in an oath that serves as a symbol of loyalty and
patriotism to our great country."

Thank you.

I've e-mailed Andrew Sullivan about the discrepancy in quotes. Frankly, I've seen too many examples of factual relativism on the part of the Christianists to give much credence to Ms. Wigton's response, but I will wait for his reaction (if any).
