Rick Warren Must Be Stopped

By inviting preacher Rick Warren to deliver an invocation for his official inauguration as President of the United States, Barack Obama has broken the trust of the progressive activists who propelled him into the Democratic nomination for President.

Not only is the invocation itself an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state, but Rick Warren himself supports a disturbing array of extremist right wing policies, including Proposition 8 in California, which revokes equal rights for many married couples in California, and the abolition of reproductive rights for women. Rick Warren has stated clearly that he believes that only a citizen who believes in God should be allowed to become President of the United States.

Rick Warren's agenda of hate is not compatible with the hope and change that we were promised during the 2008 campaign. We need to mount a citizens' campaign to stop Rick Warren from giving his invocation at the Obama inauguration, and prevent his attempt to co-opt the Obama promise into just another mockery of the values represented in our Constitution.

It's time to put Rick Warren into the cone of silence.

Get Your Rick Warren Off My Barack Obama 

A Protest of Double Entendre

It's disgusting the public display of affection that Barack Obama is showing for bigoted preacher Rick Warren - especially when Rick Warren opposes the public recognition of responsible relationships of affection between committed adult Americans. What does Rick Warren have against marriage equality, and why does Barack Obama insist in joining Warren in that bigotry?

Fight back with this t-shirt that raises a provocative double entendre in protest against Rick Warren and his Religious Right agenda: Get your Rick Warren off my Barack Obama!



...the perfect tshirt for our times.

Atheist Petition Against Rick Warren 

Atheists Protest the Rick Warren Inaugural Invocation

It's not just GLBT Americans who have reason to be concerned about the involvement of Rick Warren in Barack Obama's inaugural. The introductory invocation by Rick Warren is a slap in the face to non-religious Americans as well.

That's why a petition has been written, specifically organizing atheist opposition to the planned Rick Warren invocation. Please stand up for your rights, and sign this petition to President-Elect Obama, requesting that he remove Rick Warren from involvement in the official inauguration.

Sign the Petition

The petition letter reads:

We, the undersigned, note that:

1. The Inauguration is a secular, public occasion to begin the term of a President who is supposed to serve all Americans, regardless of creed.
2. Rick Warren has publicly declared that he believes that only people who believe in God should be allowed to become President of the United States.

Rick Warren's agenda is contrary to Constitution's ban on any religious test for public office. Furthermore, a religious invocation is in violation of the separation of church and state.

When you take the Oath of Office, you will pledge to uphold the Constitution. Please, don't break that promise with the first act of your Inauguration. We, atheist citizens of the United States of America, urge you to keep the 2009 Inauguration a secular event that speaks equally to all Americans, and to remove Rick Warren from the official inaugural ceremonies.
