'Jesus holds no political office and was not on the ballot'

A lawsuit has been filed in federal court against the city of Hart, Michigan, after officials there ordered a T-shirt message about Jesus censored.

The case developed when Margaret Wittman, an elections worker, was relieved of her duties for refusing to hide her shirt that said, "My heart will TRUST in you JESUS," while working at the polls during the presidential election.


Robert Muise, of the American Freedom Law Center, which is working on the case, said, "The Constitution does not permit government officials to order a private citizen to check her religion at the door to city hall.

He continued, "Indeed, the First Amendment categorically prohibits government from regulating, prohibiting, or rewarding religious beliefs as such.

Her shirt was mixing religion and politics and should not have been worn while doing a government job in a polling place.

The election official was out of line and should lose his or her job, paid or unpaid.

You're showing your ignorance..........................AGAIN. There are NO rules/laws about wearing something reflecting religious beliefs------did ya' get that?----NOTHING.

You will only be stopped if you're wearing something that reflects any kind of politics. OMG! your ignorance and hate is astounding.

No one is going to tell me I can't wear a Jesus shirt anytime. It's not against the law to hold office in America and be a Christian. Those people who have a problem with this are antichrist.

Now, actually wearing that shirt was laying with fire. I think it was a good decision.

I should add that looked over the web to find the story and there was noting but your WND which is a far right outlet. So there are parts of the story that I'm sure are missing.

They see Him as hate. It has surprised me they haven't called Him a white supremist yet.
