Mr. Samuelson,
	In your haste to contradict all that Rosen says and/or
stands for, you ignore, overlook, or deliberately omit one
important, binding, and compelling point:
	
	Individuals throughout the country, who profess to be
of the same religion and beliefs as you, and who claim that their
mission in life is the promotion of "Christian Ethics and Morals",
are using the Hatch act (the new one) to harrass science, math,
physics, and biology teachers.

	The correctness of their attacks are not an issue,
as the mere threat of a lawsuit is enough to ruin any individual's
credit rating, have their house repossessed, their insurances
cancelled, and their life irrevocably ruined.

	Such actions, unfortunately not redressable in our current
legal system, are why I object to this act of Congress. 

	Regardless of whether or not individuals who pose such
lawsuits are Christian is of no import to me, because they are
allowed to retain their "Christian" mantle, with little or no
public opposition, regardless of their behavior.  If you believe
that such actions are not appropriate, it is your place to say
so, and my prompting should be unnecessary.
