Liberty Counsel has sent a letter of support to the Iowa General Legislative Assembly regarding its longstanding tradition of opening daily legislative sessions with invocations. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has attempted to pressure the legislature to stop this venerated practice. Liberty Counsel stands ready to assist the Iowa General Assembly in developing a written response to the FFRF, and if necessary, offers to defend the practice in court without cost to Iowa citizens.

Last year the Iowa Atheist and Freethinkers organization launched a similar unsuccessful effort against the state legislature’s invocations. This year FFRF also claims that such practices are unconstitutional even though the Iowa General Assembly acknowledges several religions.

The same Congress that gave us the First Amendment also voted to open each legislative session with prayer. The drafters of the First Amendment knew that it was not designed to eliminate prayer from legislative sessions.
