Well-well ... didn't take long for Governor Pat-Bob to institute his
promised "Back To Christ" program, did it?

But, pardon me -- them 'Ginians deserve what and who they voted

"Police can say 'Jesus' in public prayers"

After months of lobbying by conservative activists, Gov. Robert F.
McDonnell has quietly reversed a policy banning Virginia State Police
troopers from referring to Jesus Christ in public prayers.

On Wednesday, McDonnell (R) sent Col. W. Steven Flaherty, the state
police superintendent, to tell the nine troopers who serve as
chaplains about the change.

In September 2008, Flaherty told chaplains to offer nondenominational
prayers at department-sanctioned public events in response to a
federal appeals court ruling that a Fredericksburg City Council member
may not pray "in Jesus's name" during council meetings because the
opening invocation is government speech.
